Top10Cupcakes
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…
10BasicVanilla
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. [Recipe]
9OrangeSweet, 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.[Recipe]
Marmalade
Chocolate &Coconut
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.[Recipe]
8
Coffee &Hazelnut
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. [Recipe]
7
Blueberry &LemonTaster 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.

Chocolate &Cranberry
Red, white and scrumptious. You can’t go 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.[Recipe]
5
SummerBerry
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.

MaplePecan
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 “This cupcake definitely deserves to be in
the top three, it’s sweet, it’s crunchy and it is absolutely divine.”

PeanutButter
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.[Recipe]
2
Red VelvetThe best of our top ten cupcakes, this cupcake doesn’t just win on
flavour but on appearance too with its always impressive bright red
sponge. “It was always going to 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.[Recipe]
