Sweet Extravaganza WEEK THREE

Oprah digs it, and we dig it too. Here is one feature we are so sweetly bringing you!


The Cupcake Courier is proudly sponsoring a 12 week event just in time for Mother’s Day! We know all you Mom’s have cupcakes to bring to class, and to parties... what better way to safely and fashionably if we may add to all your events! You will be able to bring enough cupcakes for the whole class, since it will transport thirty-six cupcakes. The three easy to remove trays allow you to access those perfect cupcakes way on the bottom.


This week all you have to do is leave us a comment, on this post, telling us about your favorite kind of cupcake!

Is it double chocolate with chocolate frosting, or confetti cake with creamy whipped vanilla frosting? Perhaps starwberry is more to your liking, or carrot cake with cream cheese frosting? Whatever your pleasure, we want to hear about it!


Remember to enter before noon (PST) next Tuesday, April 29th


**Please remember: Your comment will be deleted, if you do not follow our contest rules, and your prize will be forfeited, if you enter more than once!

  1. My favourite type of cupcake is a mocha cupcake with mocha icing. I use a recipe that I found in Taste of Home magazine, and I just LOVE these cupcakes. They cupcakes are a hit with everyone who tries them, both kids and adults. I have had to give away the recipe numerous times because they are so wonderful. The entire cupcake is delicious, from the extra-rich cupcake to the fluffy frosting, swirled so pretty, chocolate sprinkles and I add a chocolate covered coffee bean in the center of the swirl just for that final finishing touch. I love to decorate them very pretty, because then they just seem to taste better.

  14. My favorite type of cupcake is a blast from my childhood past. I love cupcake cones. Typically I put white cake into them and making the ice cream part (frosting) white and then top with lots of sprinkles to really make it look like an ice cream cone.

  15. I whip up a mean batch of chocolate chunk with chocolate ganache frosting! It is so yummy and absolutely guilt free (in my head at least)! I really could use this carrier so I can bring some in to treat my friends at work as well as the kids at my daughters school!

  23. I've never made this cupcake, or even tasted it, but I'd LOVE to try the Chocolate Graham Cracker with Toasted Marshmallow cupcakes from www.trophycupcakes.com. I saw them on the Martha Stewart show during cupcake week and thought they looked delicious. They are like an ooey gooey smores in a cupcake wrapper1 Graham cracker crust on the bottom, chocolate cake, graham cracker layer on top, topped with real toasted marshmallow. Yum, yum!

  26. I love Key Lime Cupcakes!
    Here is the recipe:

    Ingredients
    • 2 cups all purpose flour
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 3/4 cup cold water
    • 1/2 cup oil
    • 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    • 7 large eggs, separated
    • 2 teaspoons grated key lime rind
    • 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar


    Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 cupcake pans with paper liners.

    Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add shortening, milk, and vanilla. Beat 7 egg yolks in a separate bowl, and add to dry ingredients along with the water, oil, vanilla and key lime rind. Mix with mixer at medium speed while scraping bowl until well blended. (approximately 2 1/2 minutes)

    In another large mixing bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Mix at high speed 2 to 2 1/2 minutes or until egg whites are stiff.

    Carefully fold flour mixture into egg whites until just blended.

    Pour cupcake batter into paper liners until 1/2 to 2/3 full.

    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until top springs back when touched lightly.

    Cool cupcakes completely in pans then drizzle with key lime glaze.

    To make key lime glaze combine 1 cup powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon melted butter in a small mixing bowl. Stir in 2 - 3 tablespoons of key lime juice until slightly thin glaze consistency is reached. Drizzle over key lime cupcakes.

  28. I just made 2 cakes for my daughter's 21st birthday. I put the wrong icing on the cakes. I accidentally put strawberry icing on a banana cake. It was a hit! So the next cupcakes I am going to make will be strawberry banana and I would love to put them in your cupcake holder!

  30. Confetti cake! My favorite cupcake has to by confetti cake. I know it is mostly known as a kids type of cupcake but I just love them!

    My sister is studying to be a culinary arts major so this would be a great graduation gift. It is also good for me so that I may take to school.

    It is horrible taking 3 pans with cupcakes in tight rows. These pans make it impossible to get a cupcake without smudging the rest. This would be perfect for me! PLEASE! I must have it!

  31. It is ironic that I found this post tonight because I dreamed about cupcakes last night, craved them ALL DAY long, and then finally broke down and made a batch tonight. It would have been really nice to have a cupcake holder at the time, but they ended up just sitting on different plates all over the kitchen! The cupcakes that I made were made from scratch vanilla cupcakes with chocolate icing, but my absolute favorite cupcakes EVER are chocolate cupcakes with raspberry filling and raspberry icing!

  35. You can't pick just one with a sister like mine -- she makes a different cupcake for us to sample each week. Usually I would go for a chocolate cupcake with a large helping of chocolate frosting on top, but lately I have really been enjoying some of her others like cookies 'n creme, strawberry or her butterscotch....mmmmm! I am craving one just thinking about it!

  46. I love the confetti cupcakes-not because of how they look and taste(those reasons are just the bonus reasons) but because of the look on my girls' faces when they see them. My 7 year old like to add some sprinkles on top too. Favorites!

  47. It is so hard just picking one cupcake to be my favorite, but I guess I would say my dark chocolate cupcake with my mint buttercream on top! Nothing beats chocolate with mint, I could eat the entire two dozen by myself! The double butterscotch comes in at a close second!

  58. Ok, first of all.. there's no such thing as a bad cupcake! ;)

    BUT... I love chocolate cupcakes. MMMMMMM. I recently read a suggestion to stuff a hershey kiss down in the middle of the batter before baking. I haven't tried it yet - but I'm going to!

    Secondly, I liked what I saw when I saw the blue carrier -- and then I saw the PINK one! I'd love to have one of those!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Recently I used some Martha Stewart recipes. The cupcake flavor is irrelevant. The ICING was brilliant. Swiss Meringue Buttercream. Buttery, not to sweet, and it used kosher salt so you'd get a little taste of salt in each bite. Oh man.

  76. My favorite cupcake is actually from a local cupcake bakery. Dozen Cupcakes is well known here in Pittsburgh for not only its delectable cupcakes, but also for its creativity combining some of the most unlikely flavors into new, exciting creations.

    The Cosmo cupcake boasts of a vanilla cake with vodka and lime juice soaked cranberries. The buttercream frosting is lime infused with a swirl of pink and white sugar crystals. Garnished with a lime, it is absolutely the best cupcake I've had. It's feminine and delicious!

    Here's their picture of the cupcake
