Win! National Cupcake Week contest! Cupcakes and Peonies!


*Drum roll please*... Sally Waters! You win! Yay! To claim your cupcakes, just send us an email and we'll put you in touch with those lovely people at Cupcakes and Peonies. Thanks so much to everyone who entered! Come back tomorrow for more cupcakes!

*Update* Thanks so much for your entries everyone! No more now! We're off to make a cup of tea, and then we'll tell you who is the lucky winner! *Update*

Horray! It's National Cupcake Week! Which means two fabulous things. The first being that we're going to use this as an excuse to eat as many cupcakes as possible (ten girls, that's an awful lot of cupcakes between us). The other fabulous thing? Well we're going to give away a box of cupcakes every single day. Hurrah!

Let's say that again just for good measure: Free cupcakes every single day. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Today, the cupcakes are from Cupcakes & Peonies, who we've written about before. They were one of the first cupcakeries we featured when we launched and they're a very firm favourite of ours. Yummy icing, perfect sponge and oh-so-pretty decorations. You can even win a box over on their website too if you want t double your chances.

So what do you have to do to win?

Just tell in the comments us what your favourite cupcake flavour is. For extra brownie points, you Twitter fiends can retweet this post as well and get an extra entry (although only the once, mind - there will be no Twitter spamming for cake).

You've got until 4.30pm today, and then we'll announce a winner after we've had a cup of tea (picked by random by the powers of the internet). You must be in England or Wales to enter this competition. Sorry to all you lovely folk reading this elsewhere. We've got heaps more competitions coming up this week so you can enter one of those instead.

The small print bit: Competition cakes only delivered to Wales and England (but if you don't live there, you can always send them as presents to someone who does). Don't shout at us if you don't win, there's other cupcakes tomorrow. And the day after. And the day after that too. The whole week in fact. We're not allowed to enter, but if you were interested, Siany likes vanilla cupcakes with pink frosting. We wish we could enter our own competitions. Humph.

  1. ooh, what a question for a Monday morning. It's a close call between a simple and light vanilla and a summery strawberry - maybe with a dollop of jam hidden inside! Either way there has to be LOTS of frosting - preferably chocolate!

    ReplyDelete
  2. RED VELVET. RED VELVET. RED VELVET!!! Yeah, I like red velvet a lot. Shame the best Red Velvet cupcake I ever tasted was in the Napa Valley...definitely;y worth the 10 hour flight and the jetlag though :)

    ReplyDelete
  3. Chocolate with chocolate icing. Maybe some silver sugar balls but I do prefer things simple!

    ReplyDelete
  4. Hmmm just the one flavour. Well I suppose if pushed (and really pushed) I would plump for Oreo. Lovely chocolate cupcake with vanilla frosting and an oreo on top. As made by the lovely people who sell at York Farmers Market (last Friday of each month) and I think they are here http://www.cupcakesbycharley.co.uk/ but the website isn't up and running by the looks of it. They are light and scrummy and a lovely Friday treat. They have lots of other ones too - Mr PCB's favourite it the Chocolate Orange one; my (very) close second is the tiramasu. Nom nom nom now need to eat cake.

  5. What a fantastic way to ease myself into a Monday morning - it's good to get the tough decisions out of the way first. Vanilla with strawberry icing is definitely high on the list but it's topped by a recent discovery: rose flavoured cupcakes with cream cheese icing. Utterly gorgeous and highly recommended.

    Hungry now. Damn.

    ReplyDelete
  6. Oh wow! I'm so excited! National Cupcake Week! Thanks for the head's up ladies! Will have to bake bake bake some cake cake cake wooo! My favourite cupcake flavour is...tough one. Probably popyseed sponge with gorgeous lemon icing on top! Yummy!

    ReplyDelete
  7. How exciting!! Ohhhhhh...I'd have to say plain vanilla but with cinammon icing!! x

    ReplyDelete
  8. Nothing tops plain vanilla with loads of vanilla butter cream icing, topped with a dash of glitter!

    ReplyDelete
  9. My favourite flavour is YUM. That's really an all-encompassing flavour.

    (The best cupcake I've ever had, without question, was a giant purple and silver cupcake that Lola's Bakery sent to us at thelondonpaper at the beginning of the month. It was our third birthday, and seeing as we close this Friday, the most muted birthday ever. Having that delicious red velvet sponge and glittery icing sugared a very bitter pill indeed.)

    ReplyDelete
  10. ummmm....because I'm a daredevil with all things cake-related, I'm going to say....red velvet! I've never even tried these before but they sound amazing and I'm ready to be wowed.Can I have a sprinkle of something spicy on top?!

    ReplyDelete
  11. Oooooh Cupcakes!! Now my (slightly early) yoghurt for elevenses seems so unsatisfying!

    Favourite flavour is... Carrot cake cupcake with a cream cheese and pistachio frosting. Very indulgent but I still feel every so slightly good as it is vegetable based (ish) and I do count it as one of my 'five for the day'!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Chocolate and Vanilla with a runny Chocolate topping made with dark chocolate and cream are the fave in our hose. They are so yummy!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I would have to say carrot cake! Rich, delicious and you can kid yourself that it's healthy - plus even cuter in cupcake form!

  15. I have an abiding and deep love for lemon cupcakes with vanilla frosting

    i've always wanted to try red velvet but alas have no local cupcake peddlars to get any from

    ReplyDelete
  16. I obviously have not eaten enough cupcakes as I couldn't think of ANY flavours! Umm... Vanilla? With lots of buttercream? and something pretty on the top? That's really boring isn't it...

    A Pro-Plus laced one would be most useful right now however. It's been a loooong night.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Anything with chocolate!!!! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  18. mmmmmmm cupcakes, well its not exactly a flavour... but my favouritest would have to be the cupcakes of my childhood - fairy cakes!! vanilla sponge cupcakes with the tops chopped off and turned into wings with some whipped cream, mmmmmmmmm nom nom! No childhood birthday party was complete without them! :) Oh, and I'll be twittering this ;) Good luck everyone! xxx

    ReplyDelete
  19. Love red velvet but its all about the cream cheese icing. Slap some cream cheese icing on a good vanilla cupcake base and I'd still be in love! Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  20. My faverouite would have to be a light luscious lemon cupcake piled high with a lime or orange icing.
    I like to thing its part of my five a day that way!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I had a lemon meringue cupcake the other day - it was amazing, it's my new favourite :D

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mmmmm what a lovely question. Am not salivating too much here at the thought!!
    Got to be "Death by Chocolate" for me - chocolate sponge, choc fudge filling, chocolate buttercream on top and maybe some choc sprinkles on top just so there is enough chocolate to cause a coronary! Yum :) xx

    ReplyDelete
  23. Lemon, with a cream cheese icing on top. Mmmm. Preferably a buttermilk cake.

    ReplyDelete
  24. It has already been said a few times, but I am going to have to agree with all the other Red Velvet lovers out there. Its especially good with cream cheese icing... ummm cupcakes

    ReplyDelete
  25. Cupcakes!!
    I adore cupcakes.
    In fact I adore them so much I even have a Sausage Dog called Cupcake (How cute is that!)
    There's a place in Kingley Court off Carnaby street that sells the most amazing cupcakes with all sorts of sweets & stuff on the top. I have to go there whenever I'm in London.
    Now, if I had to choose my favourite, oooooh that would be hard....do I go for looks or taste - or both!!
    Looks - it would have to be pink & glittery with lots of pretty flowers & girly stuff. So maybe vanilla & raspberry.
    Taste - chocolate!! Every time, I live for chocolate!
    So chocolate, with chocolate chunks, chocolate frosting with maybe more chocolate chunks sprinkled on the top!
    So my favourite cupcake would be a vanilla, raspberry and chocolate cupcake, with chocolate chunks, chocolate frosting, glitter and flowers.
    Yum!!

    ReplyDelete
  26. Oooh, so hard to choose! I have to go for the classic vanilla, with oodles of butter icing and pretty sprinkles on top. Yum.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'd go for vanilla - it's my favourite flavour for most things, which is ironic, as I'm not a very vanilla person ;)

    I'd also eat them happily all in one sitting - I'm stuck indoors all week this week, as I baby sit builders (we're having our bathroom redone!) during the day, and then work 6 - 10pm :( Boo!! I need cupcakey happiness!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Oooh, so hard to choose! I do love black bottoms (dark chocolate with cream cheese in the middle) and peanut butter ones, but I have to go for the classic vanilla, with oodles of butter icing and pretty sprinkles on top. Yum. I'm such a girl!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I've tried many cupcakes but lemon *always* gets my vote :-)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hmmm, decisions.

    Chocolate and banana cupcakes with peanut-butter butter-icing, decorated with crumbledReese's pieces is always a winner for me.

    Mojito cupcakes always look intriguing, but I've yet to attempt them...

    ReplyDelete
  31. Red Velvet. I am feeling homesick for my grandmother's red velvet cake just thinking about it! But really, is there any bad flavor of cupcake? Properly done, they should all be spectacular!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I don't think I've ever come across a cupcake I don't like (and I'm sure they the same about me), but if I *had* to choose just one - but why would anyone make me do that is beyond me - it would have to be double chocolate with vanilla frosting.....

    ReplyDelete
  33. Ooo, mine is definitly Chilli and Chocolate. It reminds me of the homemade bread my boyf' made me when we first started going out together - white choc and chilli bread. At first I was little surprised by the combo, but after tasting it I was smitten on the bread and the boy! That's when I realised he was a keeper! ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  34. Lemon sherbet (not that I have ever had a cupcake of this flavour but doesn't it sound nice!)

    ReplyDelete
  35. Mmm I have to say coffee creme with choc. Sadly maligned, coffee frosting is one of the great gifts in this life.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Double Chocolate has to be my fav

    ReplyDelete
  37. Oooo i lurve de cupcakes!!
    last week i made my old faithfuls 'Very Berry Cupcakes'. They're vanilla cupcakes with fresh raspberries and blueberries in them, topped with cream cheese frosting and vanilla-sugared blueberries!! i want one NOW!!

    ReplyDelete
  38. Coincidentally I have been thinking and talking about cupcakes for the last two weeks. Then I saw this. It's meant to be! And any flavour is a good cupcake through simple plain victoria sponge my nana used to make to fancy creations with hundreds and thousands and hidden sweets inside. Yum.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Finding out that it is National Cupcake week has really perked up my Monday morning! Especially as I have to go and see the dentist this lunchtime! Whilst he is scraping around in my mouth (yukky) I will distract myself by thinking of my most favourite cupcake; a pink vanilla flavoured sponge with lemon coloured, white chocolate flavoured butter cream icing, with mini white chocolate buttons on top! YUM YUM YUM!!!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Oh, you got me so fancying a cupcake right now - they look delicious on your pic and sooooo tempting! i have to say that i'm not really fussy when it comes to flavours - a cupcake is a cupcake, and all are blummin gorgeous, but if i had to choose, then a hint of lemon would be my ideal! lovin this comp, even if it is a bit of a naughty one! LoL thankyou for bringing to my attention the fact that it is National Cupcake week, now i have the perfect excuse to indulge! Hoping i win now coz they look finger lickin good! :-) x
    will also tweet once i've commented!

  41. Mine is lavender or.. violet.

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm a fan of vanilla cupcakes with white chocolate frosting. Simple but sweet!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Cupcakes :-) What a nice thing to think about on a wet miserable Monday.

    Vanilla with chocolate frosting.

    Just about to tweet

    ReplyDelete
  44. My litle sis' is to be married next month and as her married name will be 'Mrs Lavender' - how lucky can a girl be? - she is to have a lavender cupcake tower - made by me! So, the cupcake of the moment has to be a lemon zesty sponge for a tangy kick, topped with fondant butterflies and hearts. I just hope my wedding outfit still fits after all of the 'extremely necessary' taste testing!!!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Ooh! What a fantastic contest, I'm just about to add this to my Cupcake Monday post to let everyone know!

    One of the best cupcakes I ever had was chocolate with a very light mint icing in Toronto. And there's one I get at the Tynemouth market here that is lemon cake with lemon icing at is most delicious. It's probably my all-time favourite! ♥

    ReplyDelete
  46. Can I nominate lemon sponge with absinthe flavoured icing?
    I can even give you my recipe!
    ;-)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Mine would be a light vanilla cupcake with a delicate rose and lemon cream topping, finished off with a pretty flower on top and a light dusting of glitter (it tastes a bit like turkish delight).

    I am hungry for cupcakes now...

    ReplyDelete
  48. chocoalte with chocolate icing it has to be
    not only do i love chocoltae but chocoltae loves me

    ReplyDelete
  49. My Favourite would have to be an orange flavoured cake with white chocolate icing and it even had one of those sugary slices of orange on the top to remind me of Christmastime! :-D

    ReplyDelete
  50. mmmm cupcakes, it has to be somethinig lemony for me, although tried a rose & lime cupcake which was also quite delicious

    ReplyDelete
  51. red cocoa cake topped with a cream cheese frosting and dusted with sugar

    always a winner for afternoon tea here on a Sunday with all the family

    ReplyDelete
  52. chocolate, with chocolate icing! yummy

    ReplyDelete
  53. I re-tweeted and here's the post:

    http://www.theswellelife.com/swelle_life/2009/09/cupcake-monday-the-dreamy-edition.html

    You have made me drool.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I love Vanilla first but also love Carrot, Walnut or Cheese, I've not got a massive sweet tooth and like to keep it simple. They are suppose to be light little mouthfuls of heaven rather then sensation overload. yummy!

    ReplyDelete
  55. Cupcakes have FLAVOURS?! My favourite flavour is therefore CUPCAKE. I love all of them and a box of 'em would go down a treat in my office at any point this week!x

    ReplyDelete
  56. I'm all about the red velvet if I'm buying, but my favourite to make are my own recipe blueberry cocoa with nutella filling and chocolate buttercream icing. *slavver*

    ReplyDelete
  57. Lemon, with lemon icing. Definitely.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I just had a delicious cupcake up in NewCastle last week at a Girl Geek Dinner event. It was a Vanilla cupcake with Chocolate Lime icing.

    It was delicious!

    I also love my cupcakes with sprinkles.... it brings out the inner child in me!

    ReplyDelete
  59. has to be vanilla with jam and cream on top

    ReplyDelete
  60. I've never met a cupcake I didn't like but the best ever was a peanut butter beauty.

    ReplyDelete
  61. Ooh. I didn't realise there were so many flavours. Red Velvet does indeed sound exciting, much more so than my favourite which is the desperately untechnical pink sponge with big thick piped swirly pink frosting on top.
    Oh, and I don't recommend Vimto cupcakes. Very strange indeed!

    ReplyDelete
  62. Jack Daniels would have to play a part somewhere in this cupcake dream, be it as the frosting or in the actual cake itself. Or even a cream cheese and walnut cupcake (low fat + vitamins) with a shot of JD to wash it down. *Kate is drooling*

    ReplyDelete
  63. Chocolate with chocolate icing, boring but who cares, the classics are always delicious.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Chocolate cupcake with vanilla buttercream icing - yummy, yummy, srumptious!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Im going with Red Velvet too! I just LOVVVVE them. Im such a choccie fiend...If its a cupcake & its chocolate I will eat it. I love creamy vanilla buttercream on top...Uh-oh, Im making myself rather peckish!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I would have to say.... Lemon as a general rule but I just noticed that Cupcakes and Peonies also make mint choc chip cupcakes. I've never tried one of these but I definitely will try them now!

    ReplyDelete
  67. Chocolate!! Always chocolate...

    ReplyDelete
  68. God, it has to be BANANA! How can you not love banana in a cake - moist, sweet, fruity and reminds me of heady childhood afternoons mainlining banana Nesquik...

    ReplyDelete
  69. I do love an Oreo cookie cupcake - chocolatey and creamy! Perfect with a massive mug of tea

    ReplyDelete
  70. Firstly Happy Cupcake Week - if there ever was a week to celebrate it has to be this!

    Secondly - OMG I never knew there were such cupcake delights. I just go for the plain old vanilla with icing - little did I know what amazing possibilities there are when deciding on flavour, colour, icing, decor of cupcakes. If I could have any cupcake right now... imagination allowed... it would be a Banoffee Cupcake with pure toffee icing and a banana decoration for the top. Lush. Not sure if these exist but I am willing to try to cook these seeing as it is national cupcake week.mmmmmmmmmm caaaake.

    Thirdly - Hurrah for the sluts giving cupcakes away!!

    ReplyDelete
  71. I'm a sucker for a lemon cupcake, particularly with a big glump of buttercream on top. Though my flatmate and I are currently working on a Pimms cupcake, if we pull it off it might take first place!

    ReplyDelete
  72. Whilst red velvet is a delicious classic, can you really beat your traditional plain cupcake with lashings of amazing sugar-tastic icing? I think not.

    Bonus points if it has been styled to look like a comedy animal. I'm looking for bunny ears here, people.

    ReplyDelete
  73. At the mo, it has to be courgette with cream cheese frosting! Thanks for the heads up re Cup Cake Week, best excuse for a while to keep baking.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Oh, it's so hard to choose just one - that's why variety selections were invented, so we wouldn't have to do this!! Ok, if I were only allowed one cupcake, I'd go for lemon - light, summery & refreshing - unless you add chocolate frosting, when it becomes rich & decadent, and altogether naughtier!

    ReplyDelete
  75. Call me boring but I think the best flavour is vanilla but only if done properly with lots of vanilla in it and lashings of (preferably pink) frosting!

    ReplyDelete
  76. Either carrot cake with a cream cheese icing, or lemon with lemon drizzle icing - yum :)

    ReplyDelete
  77. This comment has been removed by the author.

  78. My favourite cupcake flavour would have to be...

    Chocolate brownie, with lashings of vanilla frosting and chocolate sprinkles...lovely and gooey and fudgey and moist. Delish! x

    ReplyDelete
  79. A light chocolate sponge filled with chunks of rich dark chocolate, topped with lashings of white chocolate frosting and topped with curls of milk, dark and white chocolate and maybe a cheeky little cherry!. A girl can never, ever, ever have too much chocolate!!

    ReplyDelete
  80. Ooh, anything chocolately. Or vanilla. Or hazelnut. Basically anything, as long as it's not fruity :)

    ReplyDelete
  81. I would like an Earl Grey cupcake with bergamot-flavoured icing.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Chocolate for me. The more chocolatey the better.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Kentucky Julep cupcakes.. you steep the milk in fresh mint leaves.. then make a delicious buttercream icing with plenty of green food colouring.. and a couple of fresh raspberries on top. nom.

    ReplyDelete
  84. Mine would have to be Lemon and Raspberry, but only after I've tried a million other flavours ;o)

    ReplyDelete
  85. I've not eaten enough cupcakes to know! In fact, I don't think I've ever eaten a cupcake. But orange is my favourite flavour of everything else, so I'm going with that. I hate chocolate, but Red Velvet sounds intriguing?

    ReplyDelete
  86. Mmm, has to be classic chocolate! :)

    ReplyDelete
  87. Vanilla sponge with chocolate icing. Best to keep things simple, and the icing has to be really light.

    Is it ok that I know want to run out the office and buy 10 cupcakes???

    ReplyDelete
  88. Gosh what a taxing question, asking a girl to pick just one flavour of cupcake! Its lucky I have previously given this topic much thought!
    I would pick a spohisticated mocha cupcake. Rich moist chocolate, espresso sponge (with a hint of Baileys) topped with a giant swirl of coffee buttercream icing. Now to make my cake truely sophisticated I should place a single coffe bean on top . . . but being a rather sophisticated and quirky lady I would instead place a small marzipan totoro on top (my favourite japanese anime character). Sophisticated, caffeinated and quirky . . . just like me! ;-p

    ReplyDelete
  89. Any and all...CAKE!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Double chocolate with marshmallow filling, but I love a red velvet, and I'm keen to try both rose and absinthe!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Fave cupcake is White choc roses.

    You will need:

    For the Cakes:
    100g Self raising,
    100g Caster sugar,
    100g Baking margerine,
    2 eggs,
    100g White choc chips,
    1 tsp Vanilla flavouring,
    1/2 tsp Rosewater.

    For the icing:
    200g Icing sugar,
    100g Softened butter,
    A drop of Rosewater,
    1/2 tsp of Vanilla flavouring,
    A tiny bit of food colouring, (pink works best)
    Things to decorate (I find a sugar flower or some edible glitter is best)

    Sift the flour, baking powder, and sugar together into a bowl then rub in the margerine. Next, add the egg and the flavourings and attack with the electric whisk until it's all fluffy. Divide the mix between some cup cases. A heaped teaspoon or two each should do it. Bake at 160*C Gas mark 3 for 15-20 minutes while you lick the spoon throwing caution to food poisoning! Remove and cool then decorate. To make the icing, sift the icing sugar so it doesn't clump then mix all the ingrediants together (apart from your decorations, clearly!). Pop onto the cakes and add any bits you want.

    I have my own site if anyone is interested www.theglamoroussnowdrop.co.uk. I know, shameless! But I love this site, it's the best!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Oooh - this is so hard! I'm a sucker for anything chocolate...chocolate cake, chocolate bars, hot chocolate etc etc BUT as I've got older I have become more and more partial to a simple vanilla cake, topped with vanilla frosting...omg - this is too much to take on a Monday morning!!! Ok - I'm going vanilla! There - I said it! Vanilla it is :-) Emm xxx

    ReplyDelete
  93. Ooh what a lovely question. I love red velevet cupcakes for the colour, but I think my favourit must be either the delicious winter wamrer apple and ginger, or delicate girlie rose water cupcakes.

    Mmm, I'm hungry now!

    ReplyDelete
  94. twitter #cupcakebake day is on Saturday 19th Sept if anyone wants to post photos of their entries.
    My fave will always be chocolate with chocolate icing too, but for #cupcakebake day I am doing something very special with the decoration. nuff said. do join in.Just search the #cupcakebake hashtag for other tweeters involved.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Ooooh, Red velvet with vanilla frosting! I just got brought 2 of them for my birthday from lovely Katie too! Brilliant!

    ReplyDelete
  96. vanilla cupcakes with cherry icing - perfect.

    ReplyDelete
  97. wow. national cupcake week. how wonderful! :) my nan used to make gorgeous orange peel and grand marnier cupcakes with jellied diamonds on top. delicious amd definitely my favourite xx

    ReplyDelete
  98. Oooohhh!! That's a toughy! Would have to go for lemon cupcakes with a thick lemon icing! Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  99. Peanut M & M flavoured cupcakes.
    HEAVEN ON EARTH. Along with all other thingd peanut m & m flavoured, particularly milkshake!!
    x

    ReplyDelete
  100. While enjoying a nice cup of coffee, sat looking at the dreary weather outsite, my thoughts of cupcakes, mmmm, got be be melt in the mouth chocolate, rich, moist, chocolate, with hmm lets think, a deep thick layer of creamy chocolate on the top. Maybe a strawberry or 2, no forget the fruit just CHOCOLATE!!!

    ReplyDelete
  101. Vanilla with (thick) vanilla icing. Simple but yummy.

    ReplyDelete
  102. I would like to make a plea for the mint-choc chip cupcake with choc-mint frosting and milk chocolate chips on top. The mint stops the chocolate being too rich and everything is better with chocolate chips on top. Yum.
    I am longing to try Red Velvet, though...

    ReplyDelete
  103. Coffee! Or tiramasu. I'm a bit of a freak in that I hate chocolate cake, although I do have a boy who loves it...

    ReplyDelete
  104. I really like vanilla cupcakes. this may sound a tad boring but I think having a simple sponge is best when you have loads of flavoured icing on top of it.

    ReplyDelete
  105. i can't choose! all cupcakes are good cupcakes! x

    ReplyDelete
  106. It would have to be Snickers flavour - I once had one at Cocoa in Sheffield. Yummy chocolate with peanut butter in the top then topped with chocolate cream and toffee pieces . . . very naughty!

    ReplyDelete
  107. Ooops commented from the wrong account earlier!

    Chocolate, Chocolate and Chocolate! Even better, chocolate peanut butter cupcakes with a ganache topping!

    *daydreams for the rest of the day about cupcakes*

    ReplyDelete
  108. i like banana flavoured cup - cakes. the sort that you only get if you make them yourself. Did you know that by not mixing the batter up when you make a cake and leave some lumps in the cakes become more airy and delightful.

    ReplyDelete
  109. I feel horribly guilty if I ever betray my beloved chocolate but I am also fond of vanilla kind with buttercream frosting on. Maybe with chocolate sprinkles on top.

    ReplyDelete
  110. Lemon are my favourites, although I had a very good vanilla one from Ella's on Friday.

    ReplyDelete
  111. Believe it or not - Banana with a lovely cream-cheese frosting - YUM!

    ReplyDelete
  112. so hard to pick one! But i am an uber fan of anything coffee! so lets go for coffee and caramel ummmm

    ReplyDelete
  113. Margarita Cupcakes my friend Hannah makes- fresh and sharp cakes with limey, tecquila riddled thick icing. You may occasionally get tiddly if you overindulge thou- drunk on cake!!

    ReplyDelete
  114. So hard to pick!

    My favourite one so far was a Pineapple flavoured cupcake covered in Strawberry and Smartie icing.

    wonderful!

    ReplyDelete
  115. candied violet!

    ReplyDelete
  116. Vanilla. Or Red Velvet. Just one?? TOO HARD!!

    ReplyDelete
  117. Now you've got me thinking! Simple is good - Vanilla cake with chocolate frosting is my favourite. Cupcakes FTW!

    ReplyDelete
  118. Banoffee please!!

    ReplyDelete
  119. I really don't mind. I prefer that someone else made it, and the cup of tea that goes with it as a surprise for me.

    ReplyDelete
  120. Oh my, what I wouldn't do for a cupcake RIGHT NOW!
    This was like a perverse form of torture reading through all these comments without actually having a cupcake to hand. :-(
    Right now the flavour I want most is a raspberry cake with dark chocolate chunks (or just chocolate in the middle) and either a dark chocolate or a cream cheese topping. Can I have one? Any kind of cupcake will do. Pleeeeeaaaase?
    Off in search of cupcakes now. Work can wait. I'll be more productive with cake, I'm sure. Ooh, imagine how much work I might get done if I won a whole box!!

    ReplyDelete
  121. Vanilla cupcakes with coffee icing for me :)

    ReplyDelete
  122. I had some lovely carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting last week. Or maybe some chocolate cupcakes with vanilla frosting. I miss butterfly cakes though. You never see butterfly cakes anymore.

    ReplyDelete
  123. Ohhhhh rum and raisin with rum flavoured frosting! Perfect for pregnancy cravings! ;)

    ReplyDelete
  124. I love carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

  127. Glitter, I don't really mind the flavour or colour... But any type of glittery cupcake makes me happy.

  128. Best cupcakes are lemon sponge with lemon frosting, with a tiny lemon jelly sweetie on top because they remind me of Easter, spring and daffodils, and the first outing of a new dress that has been bought for summer. Lemon cupcakes are the perfect antidote to that feeling that winter will soon be closing in.

  129. I'd have to go retro, also known as cupcakes like you make when you're little. So, that would be vanilla cake with pink icing and smarties for decoration! Yum...

    I like me some coffee and walnut goodness if I get to choose.

  131. I am neither an old lady or a bumble bee but I love, love, love a vanilla cupcake with lavender frosting! Although, to be fair, I'm not fussy and would be eternally grateful for any cupcake that comes my way!!

  132. My favourite has to be vanilla base with lemon frosting on top with one of those sugared lemon slices for decoration! Sweet and comforting all at the same time! Absolutely gorgeous - especially with actual lemon bits inside rather than just the flavouring!

  137. Chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate... anything chocolately so long as it's indulgent (best eaten in the bath with a steamy hot cup of milky cocoa and some lit candles...bliss)

  138. Aren't cupcakes very 2007? I thought whoopie pies were the fashion these days (fairy cakes for the anti-Americans).

    I vote for rich dark chocolate cupcake with chili jam filling and a chocolate and pink peppercorn icing. I made them for my office and they went down a storm.
