How About A Thread To Seriously Discuss Making Cupcakes?????
Baking By Cookies4kids Updated 11 Dec 2020 , 12:18pm by -K8memphis
Those sound wonderful Fiddlesticks! Did you make the cupcake lemonade and then the cherry flavor in the buttercream?
I made both the cupcake and the buttercream cherry and lemonade ..But used heavier on the lemonade in the cupcake and heavier on the cherry in the icing !
Oh and added a cherry on top!
It was one of those flavors that make you want more hehe!
The sweet tangy combo!
Great thread. My favorite filling is Guava creme mousseline. I make Martha's creme mousseline and add guava preserves when cooled.
Don't forget in my signature is the thread with all the google docs with all the threads and tons of recipes. Enjoy! 
WOW!!! You are all still here! I haven't been here in almost a year!! I have missed you so!
I am going to try to catch up a little on what you have all been up to. I haven't posted any pictures in awhile...maybe I will try to dig up a few. And I definitely want to check out your latest creations and recipes!
I hope you are all well!
Penny! Where have you been? Any new cupcake recipes to share? Some of the flavors they have on Cupcake Wars I would like to have recipes for!
New to this thread. I made cherry coke cupcakes after I saw them on cupcake wars. Someone made cherry coke cuppies in ice cream cones. I had to really search for a recipe, but I finally found one, and everyone at work loved them. I topped them with a simple buttercream using maraschino cherry juice as my liquid - so it came out a nice pink color. I'm making them for a picnic next week - they will be perfect for kids since there won't be any cupcake papers.

YUM! Have you ever tried the Rootbeer float ones? They are delicous also!
What would you top the root beer float cupcakes with - vanilla BC to stand in for the Vanilla ice cream? For the cherry coke cuppies, I mixed coke with PS to glaze the tops before I put on the buttercream, my recipe said that was the coke float part. I could do the same with the rootbeer to amp up the taste. I'm new to cuppies and I don't get to bake very often, but I do have a fundraiser coming up for Leukemia Lymphoma that I could take the root beer ones to!
I know everyone does their's different. Most substitute the rootbeer for the liquid in the WASC. I like to make the vegan vanilla cupcake. It's a different texture. Fill with vanilla Bettercreme and then top with a big swirl of rootbeer flavored Bettercreme. LorAnn makes the most intense flavored rootbeer flavoring.
I need to try me some cherry lemonade cupcakes. those sound so good!
Thanks and are good for you LOL!!!!
They were delicious!
did you just start with like a white cake or wasc and then use the lemonade for the liquid? I was planning on trying it and thats how i figured i would go about it.
I havent figured out yet if i want to make a bc from scratch yet.. as i dont have a stand mixer and only a hand one... lol Not looking forward to beating frosting for any length of time. haha.
Yes I just used a mix and replaced the water with pink lemonade and cherry syrup.......add more or less of either flavor to get what taste you like best..More lemonade( more tang ) more Cherry syrup ( more sweet).
I did the same with my buttercream....
I still added the oil in the mix and just replaced the water ...
ok thanks! good to know. I'll have to look for cherry syrup. Not sure where to find that.
I got mine from a cooking store .....Or like a Gordons food service type place....Even if your grocery store has a gormet food isle might have it !
You can usually find maraschino syrup in the adult beverage area. 
oh maraschino syrup. I'll look for that. they might have it.
ETA: of course my stores didnt have any, or grenadine either. lol. Got a jar of maraschino cherry, i'll use the liquid. heh.
Yes you can do that..it might not be as strong a flavor as the reg cherry syrup.....so you might have to add more of the cherry and less lemonade...
frogcooke..
I just uploaded my cupcakes so you can see how they look...

yeah i figure i didnt want to run around to a bazillion places.
Those look sooooooooooooo good!!!
i also should have some flavors coming in the mail soon, and i think i ordered cherry as well. So i could add a tad of that. but im cool with lemonade flavor.
Does anyone know where to get flavored sugars? I was watching "DC Cupcakes" and they went to some importer friend and got flavors such as lavender and other flowers. I've tried to search around online, but haven't found anything.
Anyone have any leads?
I haven't tried any new and exciting flavors lately...working full time takes too much time away from cake and cupcake making!
Does anyone have a good favorite recipe for a chocolate peanut butter cupcake? I would like to make one when my father in law visits later this week. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
So, I haven't had much time to play with flavors, but I have been able to work on decorations...here are some of what I've done in the last few months:

Hi Penny,
Looks like you have been very creative!
I especially like that last cake you posted..wonderful!
Maybe you can find a recipe in the cupcake thread link?
I have an order to do 100 cupcakes. I do not have the cupcake liners to go in the boxes. Do I dare try to deliver with out them? Or should I order them? I love this subject I just found this tonight. Started reading page 1...
Hi,
I am new to cakecentral and slowly getting through all 700+ pages on this cupcake thread---this is so awesome and I'm enjoying getting to know each one of you through this thread. I want to thank you all for sharing your recipes and advice in this thread; I hope to someday be able to share with all of you as well. I am a former cake decorator but have been out of the business for 11 years now and miss everything to do with cakes & cupcakes. I am slowly trying to catch up on 11 years worth of new stuff.
thank you all ....

Fiddlesticks,
Those cherry-pink lemonade cupcakes look great. I'm thinking that I'm going to try that flavor next---I will let you know how they turn out and will post some pics. Thanks for sharing....

I have some "Fairy Dust Dessert Toppings" in green apple and banana that I found at the grocery store a few months ago, but can't locate it online.
Cake Mate makes some you can find sometimes. Cinnamon and peppermint are two I remember.
Here's a naturally flavored bunch from the internet.
