OMG...cupcakes for Grandma would be fantasmic! Since she is 91 and cant bake like she use too :( I think a Banana chocolate Chip cupcake would be tops...with chucks of banana in the batter all baked and yummy and perhaps a banan cream frosting or filling. I would call it something like Funky Freckled Monkey or something like that! Happy Holidays!

I would love a layered raspberry-lemon cupcake: a thin layer of raspberry cake on the bottom of lemon cake with a raspberry frosting. Yum!

I would love to see some raspberry lemon cupcakes. I'm thinking something along the lines of my favorite cheesecake from the Cheesecake Factory, but as a cupcake. http://shop.thecheesecakefactory.com/order/cheesecakes/lemon-raspberry-cream-cheesecake-10-inch-dessert.html

I once hear of a "Bart Simpson" chocolate cupcake with peanut butter frosting topped with chocolate ganache. There way have been some sort of peanut butter treat in the cupcake too. It was awesome either way. Fingers crossed for free cupcakes :D

Wow that should be heard and may, excuse my typing skills haha

Cupcake giveaway?! Awesome!

Although I love a good "birthday cake" inspired cupcake, I have been dying to try Mint-Blueberry flavored cupcakes!

December 21, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterRachellynn

I think a lemon cupcake with a meringue-like frosting sounds delicious...yum yum!

December 21, 2010 | Unregistered Commenterllsae2

Mint Oreo! Mint + Oreo = perfect holiday treat. :)

December 21, 2010 | Unregistered Commentercrystal

Great idea for Christmas!
I think a cupcake made after one of my favorite Starbucks drinks would be awesome! Caramel Brulee Latte, with some cinnamon on top!

I would love to try a chocolate cupcake with mocha frosting...

December 21, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterVanessa Marquez

I would send cupcakes to the sweet family that has "adopted" my Great Aunt in Hondo, TX. They used to be neighbors and sadly my Aunt's children and husband all passed away before her. This family took her into their home as she is no longer able to take care of herself, and they love her deeply as their "Mimi" the girls call her. It's really wonderful that she now has a family and "adopted" grandchildren of her own!
My cupcake flavor idea is an ice cream blizzard cupcake...chocolate cake outside and a blizard concoction in the middle...like vanilla ice cream with chopped up peanut butter cups.

Lemon/Vanilla Bean + St. Germaine spiked frosting. The next thing after your wine cupcakes...cocktail cupcakes! xoxo R
