P.S. I would love to see a fun birthday-type cupcake, with AmAzInG vanilla cake (with sprinkles baked inside), a cream-puff creme filling, vanilla frosting with a hint of strawberry and LOADED with sprinkles - i mean COVERED! all topped off with a single birthday candle. Simply call it "The Birthday Cake" :D

Love your cupcakes! I'm sure you've got this flavor listed already (since the list seems to go on for infinity!) but I'd love a banana cupcake + chocolate filling + peanut butter cream cheese icing...the best of the world all rolled into a deliciousness :)

I forgot my cupcake flavor. The cranberry orange you had awhile back was AMAZING!

My mom loves the Bourdeaux chocolates from See's. It would sure be great to have that flavor in cupcake form sent to her for Christmas!

You have so many flavors already, but one I don't see is a Kahula cake with a creamy frosting. Kahula cakes are super yummy and with the right frosting - possibly a cream cheese based one it would be delicious.

Hello Vander Vliets,

My suggestion for a cupcake flavour is inspired by two things: a summer trip to france and my brother Gavin and his wife Linda, who went along with us. One of my favorite french desserts is Orange Tian and while it doesn't have any chocolate in it, I think most desserts taste better with a chocolate influence.

I'd like to suggest a deep chocolate cake infused with orange, filled with a grand marnier scented ganache and topped with a salted caramel buttercream. A candied orange peel would be a lovely accessory.

Thank you for your continued cupcake inspiration. And I know my brother and his wife would LOVE a dozen surprise cupcakes on their doorstep!

Hello!!!:) I would love to have some cupcakes sent to my mom, because she is such a giving, kind, genourous and selfless person. She is always doing for others and never for herself. A neat cupcake flavor would be pecan pie!!! My email is: diamondsthatglitter@hotmail.com Thank you, God Bless and Merry Christmas!!!:)

I would like to see a cupcake with fresh strawberries baked into the chardonnay batter. With a simple vanilla buttercream frosting. Yumm :P
Or... dark chocolate cake with a lightly orange flavored buttercream frosting with chocolate ganache on top.
Or... chocolate cake with almonds baked into the batter and a mocha frosting with roughly chopped almonds for garnish.

I could go on for days... I should probably stop now, while I'm ahead. :0)

<3 Enjoy Cupcakes!! <3
