Crazy Cupcake Recipe Flavor Suggestions
The written recipe includes the master Crazy Cupcake batter ingredients and instructions plus suggestions for 6 of my favorite flavors. Get creative and make your own as well!
How to make Red Velvet Cupcakes
Red Velvet Cupcakes are a classic combining moist cake, a hint of cocoa powder, and cream — usually a cream cheese — based frosting. The result not only looks so delicious and decadent but tastes like chocolate heaven!
How to make Lemon & Blueberry Cupcakes
Tangy lemon and sweet berries are one of my favorite combinations in these Lemon & Blueberry Cupcakes! This is a great one to make when berries are in season, but if they aren’t you can always use frozen berries.
How to make Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Carrot Cake Cupcakes happen to be one of my personal favorite flavors! I love the lightly spiced cake combined with the sweet grated fresh carrot. This is a great way to get in those extra veggies!
How to make Cookies & Cream Cupcakes
Do you know what’s better than a cupcake? A cupcake combined with an Oreo! That is exactly what these Cookies & Cream Cupcakes are and they’re divine! They are RICH, creamy and of course chocolatey!
How to make Birthday Cake Cupcakes
Another classic, these Birthday Cake Cupcakes are so festive! I love to go crazy with the sprinkles here, there’s no such thing as too much!
How to make Chocolate & Peanut Butter Cupcakes
This has to be one of the Biggest and Boldest cupcakes I’ve made. My husband, Kevin, loves chocolate and peanut butter, so this one was a must. These are a little salty, sweet, and pack that chocolate punch.
How to store cupcakes
After the cupcakes are decorated you can cover them in an airtight container and store cupcakes for up to 3 days. If you’d like you can freeze the baked and un-frosted cupcakes for up to 3 weeks. To thaw, allow them to sit at room temperature until soft and fully defrosted. Once defrosted you can frost and enjoy!
