I'm selling cupcakes a t a Christmas fair coming up, to help promote my business. Id like to be able to offer a few flavor option. But im having trouble picking something out.

Id like to do something different and fun, just not the typical...Chocolate, Vanilla, strawberry, or whatever.

I know it's a Christmas fair...but i don't necessarily want that to limit my flavors... i was thinking something fun and kid relatable or nostalgic.- since these will be sold to a lot of kids and parents.


I was thinking of only offering 2-3 flavor options... since this is a fairly small event. So far i was thinking of flavors like:

Cookie Dough
Smores
PB & J
Peanut-butter cup
Pink Lemonade - i was thinking something like this since my company name is the Sweet flamingo cake co.... maybe i could decorate them.

These are not very unique... or a diverse, so im open to your suggestions! Please feel free to be creative! I love a challenge!

Thanks!!

Since it's the holidays
- Pumpkin Spice
- A pepermint crunch of some sort (white chocolate cupcake with pepermint crunch in a white chocolate icing.

I just found this site yesterday and I think I'll be spending way too much time here for inspiration:

http://www.tastespotting.com/tag/cupcakes

This has a lot of ideas for (to me) rather odd and unique flavors of cupcakes .

We do a lot of rum cakes at christmas our cholate rum and bannan rum cupcakes have been a hit recently. You can use real rum or rum extract. A flavor the kids like is our almond chocolate swirl cupcake and our oreo, white chocolate cake marbled with chocolate with oreo pieces in the batter.

Thanks for posting that site! Leily's sound really good too. Guess I need to get baking!!

For Christmas time I immediately thought of

*hot cocoa cupcakes
*eggnog cupcakes (maybe with a cheesecake mousse icing)
* pumpkin spice cupcakes
* How about a gingerbread cupcake?

So I'm trying to come up with a few different flavors for cupcakes I'm selling at my daughter's school festival. I just clicked on the "tastespotting" link and all I can say is OMG!!!! I've only gotten through 2 pages and already have some I'm going to make!!! Thanks for posting this

Wow, that "tastespotting" site is incredible. I'm going to have to have some cupcake get-togethers or hit the gym a lot if I'm going to use that website!

Holy Cow!! There's cupcake flavors for days!! LOL

I just wanted to say that I LOVE the name of your business! Sweet Flamingo hehe I love when I hear unique and fun names I am in the same boat as you-I have signed up for multiple bazaars and this is my first year so it will all be a learning experience. I was thinking of doing some basics and a few holiday flavors like the pumpkin spice etc.

I just saw a recipe yesterday for chocolate pumpkin spice cupcakes. I love regular pumpkin spice cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, so I'm going to have to try the chocolate version! I also love the idea of gingerbread and peppermint crunch flavors!

i just have to say i spent HOURS on that tastespotting site!!! omg, and i thought i spent a lot of time on here!!!

I added Cappuccino and Chocolate Cappuccino this year...Also Tye Dye and Black Forest.Yummm

foodgawker.com is also a great site....very similar to tastespotting. i use it all the time.

foodgawker? hmmmm i am going there now...
and chocolate and caffiene...my 2 fave things!

In my shop im always trying to get new flavours

our most recent ones are Cherry Pie - vanilla sponge, frozen morello cherries, pieces of shortbread in the sponge with vanilla bc and shortbread crumbs crushed on top

spiced pumpkin with cinnamon cream cheese frosting

Rum & raisin

Cinnamon Caramel Pear (frozen diced pears from supermarket)

Earl Grey & Honey (honey bc with earl grey tea leaves baked into sponge)

Lavender & white choc - buy edible lavender flowers and add a teaspoon to batter with white choc chunks and white choc bc.

oh the cinnamon caramel pear sound heavenly!!!

awesome site!!

[quote="kathyx1]Just great, I'm supposed to be house cleaning (I work all week) but I can't get off this site! Thanks very much![/quote]

I knew there are many more CC'ers like me, byt it is heartwarming to actually hear it (or in this case, read it) that I am not the only one not doing the routine chores and instead spending time on CC...

As for the cupcakes flavors, I suggest whatever flavors you choose, have a normal basic flavor too (your best basic cupcake), not everyone is a fan of new flavors.

oh yes, infinitsky, i agree always have a basic 3 or 4 "normal" flavors, that u offer on a regular basis. my mom always asks me why do u sell such weird flavors! LOL she doesnt get the whole idea of trying new things....

Amazing sites...impossible to leave...just 5 more minutes...

Thanks for posting!
