Cuppies!!

Were I to take cupcake-making more seriously (professionally of some sort, perhaps?), I would likely think of these as my "standard" creations:

FANCY (these generally look very clean and purdy):

carrot cake with golden raisins and walnuts, cream cheese frosting, walnut garnish

red velvet, cream cheese frosting, cherry garnish

vanilla bean cake, kahlua filling, coffee frosting

graham cracker cake, banana pudding, chocolate frosting, crushed graham cracker garnish

chocolate cake, peanut butter filling, peanut butter frosting, 1/2 reese's pb cup garnish

buttermilk yellow cake, strawberry filling, butter cream frosting, strawberry garnish

lemon cake, raspberry filling, cream cheese frosting, raspberry and mint leaf garnish


SIMPLE (these are good for playing with decorations):

white cake, butter cream frosting, w or w/o coconut

white cake, chocolate frosting, sprinkles

chocolate cake, chocolate cherry mousse as frosting, cherry garnish

chocolate cake, marshmallow frosting, fresh flower garnish

white cake with sprinkles (funfetti-esque), marshmallow frosting,
jelly bean garnish

Of course, half the fun is coming up with new combinations, and catering to what people want/ask for. If nothing else, it can help all you indecisive fools get a better idea of what exactly you're asking for when you tell me you want my cuppies ;)
