hi! I am making cupcakes for a coffee-themed baby shower. One flavor will be dark chocolate cupcake with whipped peanut butter icing. The other I am using my espresso ganache buttercream icing, but can't decide which cake flavor to use with it to keep with the "coffee" cupcake. I am already using a chocolate one, so I was thinking a butter yellow cupcake? What do you all think? TIA!

I think white chocolate or french vanilla would go great with your icing...which sounds delicious, BTW!

Try the white velvet from CC recipes. it's a really mild chocolate flavor, and it goes great with coffee flavored frosting... it isn't overly chocolate...tastes like a great white cake with a hint of mocha.

What about a cinammon cake.

I am in Cleveland OH and there is a cupcake truck that sells a chocolate cupcake filled with homemade carmel and topped with mocha buttercream To die for!

I'm thinking vanilla bean should be the best option. Any good vanilla bean recipes?

I was thinking a butter cake brushed with a kahlua simple syrup would compliment both the chocolate and espresso.

I'm with suzieQ-cinnamon would be great as it goes well with both coffee and chocolate.

Bailey's Irish Cream brushed onto white cake?

Oh no! Baby shower - Sorry.

First thing I thought was a caramel flavored. Going for a caramel macchiato kind of feel

What is this....ganache buttercream icing

I am thinking - ganache and buttercream icing all mixed together.... yes?

Banana. One of my best combinations.

i would go for something with vanilla or you can use a vanilla bean that would be nice
