2. Many people are bored of classic cupcake flavors. Everybody wants
to experiment, innovate and come up with new flavors. But you can
tweak classic flavors to make them favorites all over again.
Here’s a list of five alternate flavors that you can try and add to your
gourmet food basket.
3. Lavender cupcakesThis pleasant smelling delicate
flower can be used in the
kitchen to make lush cupcakes.
In your regular vanilla cupcake
batter, add a few sprigs of
lavender blossoms and bake as
you would normally. A classic
butter cream frosting with a few
drops of lavender oil goes best
with this cupcake. For a dainty
touch add a bud of lavender
atop the frosting. A perfect treat
for an evening soiree or when
putting together gift baskets for
women.
4. Orange and coconut
cupcakesGo tropical without visiting the
tropics with this colorful treat.
Add the zest of three oranges to
a batch of vanilla cupcake batter.
Make a frosting using icing
sugar and orange juice. After
lavishly frosting your cupcakes
add a generous helping of fresh
or desiccated coconut. If you
want that extra pop of color, add
a little orange food coloring to
your cupcake batter!
5. Margarita CupcakesAdd a shot or two of tequila in
your vanilla cupcake batter. Also
generously squeeze two limes in
the batter for that extra zing.
Make sure to catch the pips
though. Pair these cupcakes
with a cream cheese frosting to
which you have added the zest
of one lime. After frosting,
sprinkle a little sea salt and
garnish with a wedge of lime. It
will make for a naughty summer
afternoon treat. You can
assemble them in a dainty
gourmet gift basket for a
naughty bachelorette party.
6. Butter nut squash
cupcakesReplace the pumpkins in your
pumpkin cake batter with
butternut squash puree. Bake
the butternut in the oven with a
sprinkling of nutmeg and
cinnamon powder on it. Make a
puree out of it and add it to your
cupcake batter. Instead of a
sugar frosting, drench these
delights in sugar syrup to which
you have added a pinch of
saffron.
7. Chilly and caramel
cupcakes
Use a basic chocolate cupcake recipe
to bake the cupcakes, but instead of
adding sugar, use caramel. Add the
caramel just before you start putting
your batter in the molds to bake. For
the frosting make a rich chocolate
ganache to which you have added
toffee of chilies. Make the chilly toffee
using finely chopped red chilies and
add it to a caramel syrup. Transfer
the mixture on a baking sheet and let
it cool. Break the pieces and add
them to the chocolate ganache and
frost the cupcakes. Pack them up in a
gourmet gift basket and take it to
share with your friends on a movie
night.
