1. Cupcakes have always been a favourite, they’re
one of the easiest things to bake, and one of the
tastiest., but people are rarely adventurous with
the flavours they make. So why not get creative?
Here’s a list of the top 10 cupcake flavours,
baked fresh, tried and tasted by two tasters and
then ranked in order of scrumptiousness…

2. Of course, it had to be on the list. So, it
might not be the most adventurous or
flavourful flavour, but it’s a classic, it’s
simple and “you just can’t go wrong with
vanilla”, according to taster 1. This cupcake
is loaded with the sweet taste of vanilla with
a thick, creamy buttercream topping.

3. Sweet, tangy and delicious. Taster 2 said
“most of the time orange flavoured things
are either way too strong or nothing like
orange, but the flavouring was just right.”
And that’s probably because of the orange
marmalade swirled into the mixture, and the
smooth orange flavoured topping. Finish
with a sprinkling of orange zest.

4. Chocolate. Coconut. Who doesn’t love that
combination? This is the cupcake form of
the beloved Bounty chocolate bar. Taster 1
said “The flavours compliment each other
perfectly. The chocolate doesn’t overpower
the coconut and vice versa.” A simple
chocolate bun with a thick chocolate and
coconut topping.

5. The coffee chocolates always seem to be the
last ones left in the box, but when
accompanied with hazelnut in a delectable
cupcake, there’ll be some of the first ones to
go. Taster 2 said “it’s like the cupcake
version of a Starbucks.” A delicious
chocolate cupcake loaded with chopped
hazelnuts and topped with a thick coffee
frosting.

6. Taster 1 said “it was a light delight. The
lemon was refreshing and the blueberries
were sweet.” This cupcake is perfect for a
summer’s day, enjoy it with a lemonade and
hey ho. A vanilla bun loaded with dried
blueberries with a thick, lemon flavoured
topping.

wrong with this cupcake, according to taster
2 “you’ll want to eat them until you feel sick,
but even then you probably wouldn’t want to
stop.” A white chocolate and cranberry
cupcake, with a creamy white chocolate
frosting.

8. Cupcakes don’t have to be filled with
chocolate chips and vanilla, why not load
them with some delicious, sweet summer
fruits. Taster 1 said “Some cupcakes make
you feel guilty because of all the sugar, but
you just can’t feel bad eating this one!” A
delicious pink cupcake filled with summer
fruits and finished with a pink buttercream
topping.

9. Maple syrup doesn’t just have to be saved for
Pancake Day, swirl it in to your cupcake mix
for a scrumptious surprise. Taster 2 said

top three, it’s sweet, it’s crunchy and it is
absolutely divine.” A maple syrup bun filled
with chopped pecans and topped with a
sickly sweet maple syrup frosting.

10. A simple twist on an American favourite.
Peanut butter just isn’t as prized in England
as it is in the United States, but it should be
and after indulging in this cupcake you’ll
agree. Taster 1 said “This has to be one of my
favourites, it was almost number 1.” A dark
chocolate cupcake with a mouth-watering
peanut buttercream.

appearance too with its always impressive

win, it’s a simple cupcake; it is chocolate and
vanilla, but it’s a new classic and a
favourite.” A bright red, chocolate bun, with
a thick and creamy frosting.
