The Sorting Hat knows all, and now it can even put us mere muggles into a Hogwarts house. Grab yourself a Butterbeer hot cocoa and take a bite of your cupcake to discover what house you belong in!
Sweet potato pie is a given at Thanksgiving, and it can feel a little weird baking it the rest of the year. Not so when you turn it into cupcakes! This easy recipe uses boxed cake mix to make some of the tastiest cupcakes we've ever had, and we're enjoying them all year long.
Candy-inspired cupcakes are the way to go this Halloween. Take any and all of your favorite leftover candies and let them inspire all your cupcake creations!
If you're looking for a perfect pumpkin cupcake, look no further. These easy sweets are full of pumpkin spice and topped with a simple cream cheese frosting. We love it topped with some cinnamon sugar, but more pumpkin spice would also be delicious.
Sure, Kahlúa is great in coffee, but it's even better in cupcakes. We added both coffee and Kahlúa to a boxed cake mix for a true triple threat. Top them off with a chocolate-covered espresso bean.
If you're obsessed with Frappuccinos like we are, then you will absolutely love this cupcake. Coffee goes into both the cupcake and the frosting. If you skip your morning joe and reach for one of these, we won't tell 😉.
You can use any cupcake recipe for the cake portion here; the key is really the frosting glaze. The secret to their eery glow? A Jell-O-tonic water glaze gives these treats their spooky look.
We looove pecan pie, but we gotta admit, it's not the easiest to make. These cupcakes have all the pecan pie flavors we love (plus whiskey!), and they're a total cinch to make. Smell ya later, pie crust.
Carrot cake is great. But carrot cake cupcakes? Even better. Every bite is filled with warm spice and sweet carrots. And the cupcakes are topped with delicious cinnamon cream cheese frosting.
These cinnamon-sugar cupcakes use melted butter, which makes them taste more like the fried treat they are topped with. If you can't find frozen or premade churros, you can always make our easy churro recipe!
Never again will we have to choose between a cheesecake or a cupcake. Adding cubes of a frozen store-bought cheesecake makes stuffing these cupcakes before baking easy and impressive.
This easy, chill treat only requires three ingredients: your favorite cookie, ice cream, and magic shell. We use Oreos, but get creative with pretzels, sugar cones, graham crackers, vanilla wafers—you decide!
We opted for using a boxed devil's food cake mix so we could really focus on these adorable toppings, but feel free to use your favorite chocolate cupcake recipe. Ghost stories not included.
Any time we can bring a nostalgic childhood cereal flavor to our baked goods, we are going to do it. We triple down on the favorite cereal by crushing it into the batter, the frosting, and packing in plenty of cinnamon and cinnamon sugar.
To make these cupcakes really feel like a Moscow mule in dessert form, we pour ginger beer straight into the cupcake batter—a hack that lets you skip the eggs, oil, and water that the boxed cake mix calls for, while packing in plenty of gingery flavor. Don't worry, we didn't forget the vodka—it's in the frosting!
Let's be the real: The filling of the cannoli is the best part, and that's why these cupcakes are so amazing. If you love stuffed cupcakes, then you really need to try these ice cream stuffed cupcakes.
The classic ice cream flavor combination of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate is now in cupcake form. These are perfect for when you can't decide which flavor cupcake to make. Want more Neapolitan fun? Try our Neapolitan Bundt cake.
Fact: S'mores are the best; there's no denying it. And now you can have everything you love about s'mores—buttery graham crackers, melty chocolate, and toasted marshmallow—in a cupcake!
We'll bob for these babies any day! We use a vanilla cake mix for these precious cupcakes, but feel free to go all the way with our apple pie cupcake recipe as the base.
The best part about these is the cream cheese and mascarpone frosting. As with most baked goods, room temperature ingredients will go a long way. Set your eggs and buttermilk on the counter before you preheat your oven to ensure your batter comes together nicely.
Everyone loves a surprise, especially when that surprise is a Reese's. Save some mini Reese's from their candy bowl fate and put 'em in cupcakes instead.
These cupcakes remind us of a Vietnamese coffee and are *the* perfect afternoon treat. With the addition of both brewed coffee and instant espresso, they certainly don't lack in the coffee flavor department. The condensed milk frosting is a great (less sweet!) alternative to the classic American buttercream.
We love a classic tres leches cake, so we added in some coconut milk to make these cupcakes extra decadent. They're not overly sweet and the perfect light bite to end a day on!
