How About A Thread To Seriously Discuss Making Cupcakes?????

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 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.

THANK YOU! Those look promising and I hadn't found those on any of my previous searches.
Hi Fiddlesticks...your cuppies look great...what recipe frosting do you use? It looks so much softer than my crisco/butter combo frosting? thanks.
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...
Definitely get the liners. They are worth it!

I was wondering that myself Penny when I saw that episode. I have been doing searches to see how to make them and I came across this.

I did find "True Lemon" and "True Lime" in my grocery store and they are really tart and good sugars.
Thanks for the advise. I will definately order the cupcake deviders.
I most often use sugarshacks buttercream recipe!
HI,
I've seen some cupcake liners/cups out there that look like something from a fast food chain used to hold ketchup/tartar sauce in. It's a white little cup---can someone tell me what this is called and where I can buy them? Also, would you fill these and bake them on a cookie sheet as it looks like it could hold it's shape and therefore you wouldn't need the muffin tins. Thank you!
There are called snack and nut cups I buy mine from Michaels. I personally haven't baked in them but I have heard of people that have they just place them close together on a baking sheet and they look super nice. These were baked in them.

thank you luvbuttercream! I have been reading this cupcake thread and wondered what a nut cup was!!! I'm going to check at Michael's and see what I can find. They certainly look sturdy enough to hold up if they are placed together on a baking sheet.
Are those your cupcakes that you attached on the link to flckr?? GORGEOUS!
Glad I could be of help and no they aren't mine they are just one of the photos I fav'ed on Flickr.
Argh! No one around here carries the Whoppers syrup anymore. Or the Reese's peanut butter cup one either.
Grrrrrrr.....
that stinks Penny! Hy-vee carries it here still, but that's it. Have you tried amazon.com? They have been known to carry stufF I cannot find in the store!
As long as it isn't a thick filling...just ask a pharmacist for an child's medicine syringe...they're free.
I'm BRAND SPANKING NEW to all of this cake decorating, cupcake, cookie, blah blah blah so I can't speak for these (yet...it's coming though! 
) but I used to make fried biscuits and roll them in sugar. I would either fill them with apple butter, melted butter & honey, strawberry pie glaze...anything like that. Just suck it up in the syringe, put the syringe in the middle of the biscuit and squeeze. YUM!
I do make a breakfast pancake muffin for the kids...fill cup half way with pancake cupcake batter, then a layer of cooked sausage mix with scrambled eggs and then more batter. Then cook it. When it comes out I put maple syrup in the syringe and put that in the middle and then top it all with a dusting of powdered sugar.
Welcome ..
Your breakfast muffin sounds Yummy!
Welcome Lori....
that breakfast muffin sounds great---may try that for my hubby....YUMMMY
I grew up in area where there are lots of portuguese people and they make fried dough rolled in granulated sugar called mallasadas 
)
Lori, that sounds great! Got to try that!
I came up with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup cupcakes....yummy! I will try to remember what I did and post it.
How do you post recipes now? Should I just write it here and someone will include it in the big recipe file?
Thanks 
Posting a recipe here is always good...we all appreciate that!
But you can also add it to the recipes section..can't help ya there I have never added any!
fiddlesticks,
here's your recipe for pink lemonade cupcakes---they were awesome!!! I brought them into work and my fellow employees really liked them. Thank you for sharing your recipe--I will make these again... 
this was my first time posting pictures in a post---it worked for two, not sure why they I have the same pictures below with an "x" through them..... I'm learning!
Oh your so Welcome..Glad they were a hit for you as well!
Yours look wonderful,thanks for posting the photo's!
So Fiddlesticks, if you don't mind me asking, what was the brand of cherry juice that you used? I haven't found a concentrated juice with just cherries in it.
Hey GrandmaG,
You know you can ask me anything!
I used a brand called White Swan Maraschino Cherry syrup!
It's like the Torani Syrup's ...I think I might of found this one at my local Gorumet food store....
It didn't have any Cherries in it.
I used reg jared Maraschino cherries to top mine with..or to chop and add in the batter if wanted ..
I'm sure you can use the Juice out of the Cherry jar I just thought this had a stronger flavor to it !
At least for my taste it did !
I think any stronger cherry juice or concentrate etc you have or can find will work wonderfully as well..I just happen to already have this in my pantry!
If I may add my 2 cents, I'm from MA and had a really tough time finding cherry syrup. I ended up using cherry flavoring that I bought from a cake decorating store. I took a little taste of it and ugghhh it tasted like Nyquil! I ended up added a little bit of vanilla flavoring to get rid of some of the medicine taste. Next time I think I will use your suggestions fiddlesticks and use maraschino cherry syrup--or even better, puree the cherrys--that would be super!!!!! There will be a next time because these cupcakes were wonderful!!!!
Again, thank you for sharing the recipe.....
Why thanks so much..really glad you enjoyed them so much!
I'm sure there are lots of ways to get the flavor you want added..Puree would be wonderful also...
What I was looking for when I was asked to make these was a Pink lemonade with just enough strong yummy Cherry flavor to offset the tangy/tart flavor of the lemonade.....So the way I made them was perfect for what I was looking for..in this cupcake anyway!
And I also had all the Ingredients..
I was asked to make these for someone that wanted a different ..summer... refreshing flavor made into a cupcake!
I have been using the Monin syrups that are found in liquor stores and I just love them. They come in so many really neat flavors and they keep forever in the fridge. When a cake mix calls for 1 1/4 cup of water, I use 3/4 cup of these syrups and the rest water. Love the results.
Hey you( cookies) wonder where you have been !
Good idea..I have seen those but never tried them..good to know they are tasty!
I have gone in for other liquor's for baking but not those!
Thanks!
Thanks Cookies! I don't know if they carry those around here but I will be sure to check. Good idea!
