Your top cupcake recipe

[Kellie]

It's my daughters birthday and she'd like to take cupcakes to school.  Something with a chocolate frosting is her request 

What's your top cupcake recipe?

Cheers

Kellie

most just use any cake recipe they like...popular ones on here are the bimby choc cake in cupcake size or the whole orange cake also yum and then just ice it as you wish...the creamy vanilla frosting that you could make chocolate is yummy...   All recipes are on this forum..

I don't make a lot of cup cakes but I have made this recipe quite successfully Kellie.
This recipe gets rave reviews so check that out too.
Here is the Bimby Chocolate Cake, the most popular cake recipe on the forum to date.

Yep for vanilla cupcakes the quicker than a packet cake is fantastic

Ive actually had this cupcake marathon session past month where i made a new kind of cupcake every day. My favorite was with reduced champagne and cherries but the kids liked more the ones with raspberries. Anyway if you want chocolate frosting i guess vanilla is a good choice.

Bimby chocolate cake is the best. I always use it.

Bumping this thread as I have a request from a customer please and I'd love your advice:

Also do you know of any large quantity cake/cupcake recipes for the TM.  I need to make about 8 dozen cupcakes.  And then ice them.

Thanks -- I will review everything listed here already but just wanted to ask this year's new members as well.

Cheerio and thanks if you can help Kathy and me.

I second the Bimby recipe, makes lots.  Also for a vanilla version, omit cocoa and add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract.
The creamy vanilla frosting is successfully doubled in one batch.
The favourite cupcakes here are cookies and cream....1 batch of vanilla bimby cake, and stir through 1/2 cup crushed oreos.
Once iced, top with some more oreo crumbs, and pop on a mini oreo.

Your cupcakes always look so divine and professional. Are you a professional baker/cake decorator Maddy? I have tried different piping/icing kits and haven't had any luck with any of them. What brand/type do you use?

Thanks in advance.

Gosh no  but thank you 
I just buy cheap disposable piping bags from eBay, and the tips I use are mainly the Wilton 1M & 2D tips.  The pic above I used the 2D tip, and just swirl it from outside it in

Thanks for the tip Maddy.

We have the AGM for the car club soon. I think I will make these oreo cupcakes Maddy. Thanks. I'm always looking for an excuse to make something super delicious.

Don't forget the mini Oreos on top Cookie....they are the best bit
