The best cupcake I had was last year for my b'day. It wasn't anything spectacular, but my husband and two daughters made me cupcakes with yellow cake mix and chocolate frosting and sprinkles. It was the best because I didn't have to cook them!
The best cupcake I ever had wasn't the tastiest, that's for sure! I was teaching the 4th grade and for a Halloween Party we made spooky black cat cupcakes. Chocolate cake, chocolate frosting, two red-hots cadies for eyes, an upside down candy-corn for a nose, and small pieces of super thin black licorice ropes arranged like kitty whiskers. They didn't taste all that great but they were the most fun to eat...because they were the most fun to MAKE!!!
Every cupcake is my best until its gone and then its on to the next. I'm sleezy like that.
The best one I ever had was the ones I made for my son's first birthday. The cake was made of dark chocolate. Then I made a homemade marshmellow cream. I swirled that on top of the cake kind of like a cone. Then I dipped it in chocolate. It was SO good! I thank Martha Stewart for that recipe. :)
Hi, In 1994, we hosted a Swiss exchange student. We grew to love Heidi as a family member. Yes, her name was Heidi, she lived in the Swiss Alps and her family had milk cows!!!!! My oldest son was in kindergarten and Heidi and I decided to make Halloween Party cupcakes for his class. She was much more crafty than me and she did most of the decorating. We made them into "Spider" cupcakes. I remember that the legs were made from the very thin black licorice whips. They ended up looking fantastic. We laughed so much while making them. We have a picture of Heide and the spider cupcakes. We still keep in touch with her to this day. Thanks,Cindi

The best cupcake I ever had was actually pretty basic. I guess I'm a simple girl. But it was a yellow cake cupcake with chocolate frosting and sprinkles (of course). It was delicious in it's simplicity. And now Ben & Jerry's has an ice cream that tastes just like it...it's called Cake Batter and it's my new biggest temptation in the whole world! I'm drooling just thinking about it....mmmmmmm!!!

I just made some carrot cake cupcakes that were awesome. Thanks for the chance to win.
The best cupcake I ever had was from my son's birthday party a few years ago. We had purchased cupcakes from the bakery that had been frosted and placed to look like a starburst. The frosting was so thick, it was as tall as the cucpcake itself!
The best cupcake I have ever had was a chocolate cupcake filled with cherries with a dark chocolate icing! And sprinkles. Lots of pink and white sprinkles! Thanks for the giveaway!
My mother in law's yellow cake with chocolate frosting would make great cupcakes! With sprinles of course!

The best cupcake I've ever had...well, it was an incredibly moist vanilla cake, and it even had vanilla beans mixed in the batter, with a rich buttercream icing that was tinted bright pink and sprinkled with coconut on the top. It was not only beautiful to look at, but delicious!

My favorite cupcake was a chocolate cupcake with a whipped buttercreme icing...With strawberries on top, with chocolate drizzled over them! Yum! Yum!

Would have to be the cupcakes that my oldest daughter made with her father when I was pregnant with my middle child. I did the cake part and was so ill I left the icing for them to do. DH went to the local bakery and got the best chocolate and vanilla icing and came home and followed my directions. Half Chocolate and half vanilla (I wanted 12 of each) but we ended up with 24 50% chocolate and 50% vanilla on each) I was livid at first, but laughed and ate lots of the best cupcakes after we went out and purchased at the bakery the correct ones!
The best cupcakes I have ever had were just a basic yellow cake mix with homemade caramel icing. My mother-in-law made them for my daughter for her kindergarten graduation. They were so awesome!!
MY cupcakes. Seriously. They're nothing but Devil's Food cake mix and buttercreme frosting with sprinkles on top, but they are sooo good!
Best I've had is a redvelvet cupcake with cream cheese icing YUMMMMMMYYYYYY!!!
I've had several good cupcakes, but the most memorable were cupcakes from one of my early birthday parties. They were cupcakes made in ice cream cone cups. They were the best because I was able to eat everything. Angela angelou22@gmail.com
The best cupcakes are made with cream cheese! Mmm!
Can you get this over to me by Monday? I am making a bunch of cupcakes for our family picnic and I have nothing to transport them in...
The best cupcake I ever had was made by my mother when I was a child. She made them as special treats for us after we brought home a good report card or had a big accomplishment at school. It was a dark moist chocolate and had a devine cream cheese and chocolate chip center. She topped it with homemade chocolate frosting and sprinkles.
Best cupcake I've ever had was a double fudge chocolate frosting cupcake! I love chocolate.. I was also preggo at the time so I think that's why I loved it more!
The best cupcake I ever had was at a wedding! The cake was this incredible "vanilla silk" and was absolutely delicious on its own... but then they added this amazing icing that was a combination of real whipped cream and butter cream frosting all in swirls of the brides colours (pink and sage green). To top it off each cupcake had a small intricate sugared flower on top. Honestly they were almost too beautiful to eat. But I ate mine and I have longed for another one ever since.
mmmmmmmm.
The best cupcake I have ever had was one I made with my son....they were butter cake mix, with butter creame frosting...they were yummy!!! Since it was so good, butter cake is the only cake mix i will buy now, and butter creame is the only frosting i will buy also!! Plus my son helped make them, which made them extra special!!!
My favorite cupcake is chocolate cupcake with a whipped buttercreme icing.
My 2 year old daughter and I just made cupcakes for her preschool teacher's birthday party at school. We decorated them to look like daisies using yellow frosting, marshmallows for the petals, and a mini Oreo center. Some were a little lopsided, but it was a lot of fun watching her try so hard to make them. She was so proud she had helped me that when we arrived at school with the cupcakes, she told everyone to look what "Me and my mommy made". It was a priceless memory.
I really need a cupcake carrier since I took mine in old metal baking pans.
The best cupcake I ever had my best friends mom made it for me and it had a smiley face decorated on it. She makes the best cupcakes!
My favorite are chocolate cream cheese cupcakes I make for my son. He can't have eggs, so I tend to bring these for special occasions so he gets a treat, too.
The best cupcakes were the German Chocolate cupcakes that my sis in law made. They were soooo yummy! Of course I licked off all the frosting, so bad of me!

brownie cupcakes with pb cups in the middle topped with fudge frosting
Sadly to say I've never had a cupcake that was so amazing I can remember it now. But I hope to have one of them one day!!
The best cupcake I ever had was so rich and perfect! Chocolate stuffed with peanut butter filling! Yummy! I need this cupcake carrier to make and transport a whole batch of the yummy treats! mollyATpureandhonestkidsDOTcom
I make a great vanilla cupcake with a strawberry inside. Then pink frosting. It is so yummy.
The best cupcake I ever had was a bunny one that my then 8 yr old son made. We were playing in the kitchen and he asked "what makes a great baker?" I told him that the ability to follow instructions and the willingness to go out on a limb and try new things; improvise. He improvised a basic recipe and substituted mint for vanilla, whole wheat for white flour and a few more changes and voila!
Since I know he will not read this, I can say...it was horrible. It was all I could do to get through that cupcake. BUT, it was the best cupcake I ever had because I told him it was so and ever since, he has ranted and raved about that recipe and developed a love for baking! He is most definitely not afraid in the kitchen and it is wonderful!
I'm in the same boat as other people. I can't think of a memorable cupcake. Now ask me about cookies or cheesecake and I've got plenty. How about if I win this I'll be sure to find a fantastic one??
The best cupcake I ever had was lemon cake with a creamy cheese cake filling and lemon icing. It was so rich I could barely eat the whole thing.
The best I've ever had is from a local bakery that makes the most elaborate cupcakes with marzipan. They are almost too beautiful to eat! They are not cheap so I only buy them for special, special occasions.
the very beset cupcake I ever had was a double chocolate cupcake with a milky way mini bar in the center topper with chocolate cream cheese frosting! talk about death by chocolate....what a way to go!!!
Cream cheese filled cupcakes are the best!
The best cupcake I ever had was when I was 5 years old and at a friends birthday party. I remember this cupcake (chocolate with white frosting and colorful sprinkles) because it's one of my earliest childhood memories. I remember the sugary goodness, my little friends, and the games that we played that day. It was truly a sweet experience!
When we were kids, I remember my mom baking cupcakes in ice cream cones. It was the neatest thing!
I love my recipe for chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter cream filling!
Rich, moist chocolate cupcakes with cherry vanilla frosting - the best!
I am a lover of all cupcakes but my favorite would have to be the ones this lady at work makes me for my birthday every year. They are a soft chocolate cake with a boston cream type filling, coated in a delicious chocolate cream cheese frosting. YUMMM!
Yellow with chocolate frosting!
The best cupcake that I have ever had was an experimental brownie cupcake (with 3 different types of chocolate, mind you). To add to the experiment, we made a homemade batch of cream cheese frosting/topping.
That batch lasted about 20 minutes.
great holder
The best cupcake I ever had was when I was a small child. My aunt used to bake chocolate cupcakes with peanut-butter frosting. They were amazing! The memory of them is so vivid that I can almost tatse them. YUM!
The best cupcakes I ever had was when I was young. My aunt used to take me to this cafe type restaurant whenever I would visit her in Chicago. I don't know the name of this place, but I do remember the giant cupcakes! They were so big, they were to be eaten with a fork, and I would order them with vanilla ice cream! Yum! Whenever I would visit, the first place I wanted to see was the giant cupcake house, as I called it:)

A red velvet with cream cheese frosting from Buttercup Bakery in Manhattan
With 5 boy's I am constantly taking cupcakes to school and sporting parties...this would be perfect. Thanks for the chance!
The best cupcake I've eaten sounded absolutely disgusting! Chocolate mayonaise. I couldn't imagine putting mayo in and ruining all that good chocolate, but I didn't taste the mayo. They were so moist and bursting with chocolate. Now I think I'm going to have to go look up the recipe, because I'm getting a serious chocolate urge thinking about them.

The best cupcake I had was called white cloud. It was a white cake filled with white cream frosting and then iced with buttercream. it was the perfect size and had a lot of frosting.
The best cupcake I EVER had was made by my four and a half year old autistic son. It was his FIRST time baking and he picked pink because he knew mommy would love it... and I did so much I cried!

i have no favorite, they have all been exceptional!
I absolutely love chocolate chip cupcakes with chocolate frosting...how I'd love to win this prize to sport those awsome cupcakes that I am so inclined to make for my family always.
The best cupcake I ever had was a chocolate-coconut cupcake I made combining 2 different recipes from the book "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World" - and the best thing, it was vegan, organic and agave-sweetened!
Dark chocolate cupcake,filled with milk chocolate ganache,covered in dark chocolate icing!All made from scratch by the way!
O.K, so I was on the six week body makeover diet for about 8 weeks and you can't have ANY sugar except for what's in fruit. Needless to say there were cupcakes at a family picnic I went to and I went in for the kill. After not having sugar for 8 weeks I sware it was like tasting heaven. They were your basic cupcake, but I've never tasted another like those (oh yah...more than 1) that day.
Seriously, the best cupcake I've ever had was from a batch of vanilla cupcakes with vanilla frosting and sprinkles that I made this past January to celebrate my daughter's first birthday! She refused to even taste them, but they were so good! I can't take the credit, I got the recipes for the cup cakes and the frosting off Martha Stewart.com and I highly recommend both! My cupcakes didn't resemble Martha's - I didn't have a cupcake pan so I just spooned the mix into the cupcake holders and, during baking, they splayed out rather dramatically, but they still tasted soo good!
The best cupcakes I ever had were the ones I made with my kids. They were probably the worst looking things I have ever seen but boy did they bring a smile to my face. I could have definitely used a carrier to get them to the school.
The best cupcake I have ever had was the first one made by me for my daughter when she was just 5 - it was so special because she filled it with love!
The best cupcakes I have ever had is the Special Mocha Cupcakes. If you want to get the recipe for the cupcakes http://kerriesmusings.blogspot.com/2008/05/cupcake-courier-contest.html the recipe is posted on my blog from the Week 5 contest.
the best CC I had would HAVE to be the first one I made, just this year (i'm almost 31). It didn't look very pretty but it sure was TASTY! Would love this carrier as I make them all the time now for my daughters Sundayschool class!
When I was in college I became addicted to hostess chocoloate cupcakes. I would get a three pack every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday before my 8am Chemistry lecture. I would eat one right away, save one for after lunch the the third while studying late at night. I decided to give them up for Lent, 40 days without a single Hostess cupcake (or any cupckae.) I dreamed of those cupcakes all of the time! On Easter morning my boyfriend of the time brought me a basket of Hostess cupcakes. I ripped the package open and had a bite. It was hevean. The moist cake, the creamy white filling, the fundgy top. Perfection!! Now I know they are not the best cupcakes but at that moment it was the best cupcake I have ever eaten, I mean I had been dreaming of that bite for 40 days and 40 nights!!
I have not had one in over five years and now I have a craving!
:)
The best cupcake I ever had was chocolate fudge with chocolate, chocolate chip icing, YUM!!!
The best cupcake I have ever tasted was from a cupcake boutique. It was such a beautiful creation and it was so moist and delicious! I don't remember the design on top but I know it was fantastic!
Pineapple carrot cake cupcake with cream cheese filling
The best I had was this teally moist chocolate with peanut butter icing and peanut m&mS so good.
The best...mmm...I would have to go with my mom's carrot cupcakes with creamcheese frosting with walnuts toasted and sprinkled on the top. They are the BEST!
I know I already entered this but I just read my blog post that you replied to, that I had won on your site but I am not sure if I replied to you or not! Just let me know, I swear Im clueless sometimes, lol. Thanks!!
The best cupcake I ever had was just about a week ago, I had a friend visiting from another school for about a week and one morning i woke up to her making my roomies and I cupcakes for breakfast. Not just any cupcakes though, first she put turkey in the bottom of the cupcake pan, than just cracked an egg in it, sprinkled cheese on top, than baked it. It was AMAZING, may not sound good, but it really is.
My Grannie's strawberry cupcakes!
strawberry with cream cheese frosting
Mine was a plain ole chocolate one with sprinkles.
The best cupcake I ever had was a vanilla one and we were supposed to ice them pink but the food coloring got knocked over so we put a little raspberry jello in the buttercream icing and OMG they became our favorite- it is also good with chocolate cake, and you can use any flavor jello you like, but we were making them for a Valentines day.
what a cool product! The best cupcake I've ever had was not one that I can reproduce because I tried it before I knew how to cook and didn't know the person personally who brought them, unfortunately. It was almost like a banana cream chocolate cake but in cupcake form.
The best cupcake I have ever had was at a friends (moni) wedding shower. Her aunt made them for her and OMG it was like I had died and went to heaven. Everything was made from scratch! My best friend (teneil)is getting married in Oct. and teneil is marring into moni's family. And since I have known Moni's aunt since I was like 12 we are having her make cupcakes for Teneil's bridal shower as well. I pretty much told Teneil she had no choice in this matter LOL. This would be a great item to send extra cupcakes home the bride to be.
Thank You for the great giveaway!
The best cupcake I had was at a church bakesale/yardsale...man, those are always the best. Just plain old yellow cake and chocolate frosting, but something about those...

The best cupcake I ever had was one my daughter made - yummy carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.

I went to a cupcake store in NYC. I tell you the cake part was angel food light filled with a delicious strawberry jam center. And the top was such a perfect salty sweet peanut butter. THE BEST!
The best cupcake I ever had was one from a tabletop full of them my son's high school sweetheart and I made spelling out a congratualtions for winning a national track championship. It was at a local park and we had to fight the AZ heat trying to melt the icing and the flies wanting to partake. The look on his face and delight of both him and my younger daughter was well worth it all. They were a variety of cakes and icings as we used what we had in the house.
The best cupcake I ever had was the one I just made for my daughter's second birthday! They were so moist and delicious, but most of all, they were so FUN! All the kiddos LOVED them! I made ICE CREAM CONE CUPCAKES! I used vanilla confetti cupcake mix and baked them in ice cream cones. I put sprinkles on top of the yummy vanilla icing to make them look just like an ice cream cone. They were a big hit :)

The best cupcake I had was last year.
It would have to be chocolate cake with fluffy white frosting, like my Mamaw used to make!!! YUM-O!!!!
The best cupcake I have ever had was a vegan chocolate cupcake with whipped peanut butter icing and chocolate sprinkles. Oil instead of eggs makes them wonderfully moist!
My husband is from England and LOVES "Fairy Cakes" (a.k.a cupcakes to us Americans)! His Aunty makes them from scratch and at a moments notice whenever requested. Being a new wife and trying to live up to Aunty Mary, I made my box mix cupcakes with canned frosting and they were a hit! He couldn't believe how good they were and then he asked..."how did you make these?" I thought about taking the credit but didn't want to hide the boxes for the next 50 years, so I fessed up! So I guess the best are made from the heart (box or no box).
