Hello fellow Caker's

I have an order for my husbands work for 72 cupcakes.

They want half chocolate and half vanilla but said that the frosting and filling would be up to me.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on what I could fill them with?

No allergies and I want to do something different. Any suggestions?

Thanks for reading

classic for chocolate combos:

boston creme
raspberry
strawberry
mocha
hazelnut (nutella!)
chocolate (can you ever get enough?)

more out there for chocolate:
citrus -- orange or lemon
chocolate chili (spicy like mole sauce used in Mexican cooking!)
mint (think thin mint)
banana


more out there for vanilla
melon (cantaloupe, honeydew, musk, etc)
passion fruit
guava
mango
kiwi
boysenberry
pineapple

Wow Doug those are some yummy flavor ideas....

Gonna have to root around the ol recipe bin on CC and see what I can find...thanks for the help on thinking outside the cupcake box

if up to making own nut butters:
walnut
black walnut
cashew
almond

these would be done up in to be like a nutella

honey for vanilla

I recently stumbled upon a black forest stuffed cupcake recipe. It is delicious!! It's a chocolate cupcake baked around a cream cheese cherry filling. Seriously to die for! Here's the link

It's a little bit of extra work, but it's delicious and looks beautiful-cut in half it looks so cool. I posted a pic on my blog-take a look, it's pretty cool!

would you have any recipes you would like to share for the nut fillings, they sound exquisite

use food processor to grind any nut into a butter (rarely will you have to add extra oil -- more likely will want to let it sit in a jar and settle so the excess oil rises to the top and can be poured off (save for baking!) -- like what happens with natural peanut butter)

then -- go from there --

can add to BC or could mix in chocolate (what they do to make nutella)
adding corn syrup can sweeten and smooth it out.

Thanks Doug... Im off to go buy some nuts

Will post pic's once they are done

Hi very new at this so please I hope you don't mind me asking but how would you make these fillings.? I mean from scratch, and by fillings do you mean to put on top of cupcake.?
