Top Ten Vanilla Cupcakes

If there is going to be a birthday, you might as well make this cupcake from scratch. The recipe is at deliciouslysprinkled.com and the buttercream frosting just has a touch of whipped cream to make it extra creamy.

These cupcakes are dreamy with a cream cheese frosting. I also think the silver sprinkles are beautiful on vanilla cupcakes. How great would this simple cupcake be for a wedding? thatskinnychickcanbake.com

You can see the vanilla beans in the frosting! There is sour cream in the frosting! Of all the frosting, I want this frosting the most. I want to make these!! The recipe is at simplyrecipes

Vanilla Cupcake Recipe from Martha at Marthastewart.com so you know they will be absolutely perfect and delightful.

The frosting is butter, chocolate and milk in a saucepan and that's it. These are perfect for people who just want a little chocolate with their vanilla christinamarsigliese.com

If you could have anything in the center of a vanilla cupcake what would it be? For me it would be raspberry. So here is the recipe to this decadent cupcake ellilu.wordpress.com

These cupcakes are bursting with coconut flavor in the cake AND in the frosting! If you love coconut these are a must try. Find the recipe at easybaked.net

This cupcake solves the dilemma of whether to have creme brulee for desert or cupcakes. Find the recipe at cookingclassy.com

I searched the web and searched the web and I compared thousands of frostings. This frosting made me want to lick my computer screen. See all of her beautifully frosted cupcakes at Ashleymarieskitchen.com. This cupcake also has sour cream in the batter, which I think is a must for vanilla cupcakes.

Top Ten Best Chocolate Cupcakes on the Web

I've sifted through hundreds, if not thousands, of cupcakes looking for the top ten chocolate cupcake recipes out there. Here's the top ten best:

1)

These ultimate chocolate cupcakes from browneyedbaker.com has a ganache filling and chocolate buttercream frosting for a taste of three different chocolates in your mouth at once.

Out of all the German Chocolate Cupcakes on the web, I want this one from backtoherroots.com the most. Yes it calls for a cake mix, but I think this is so you can concentrate on making the German Chocolate Center from scratch.

This one from sallysbakingaddiction has to be one of the best because it comes up first on the Google search engines. Obviously it has been clicked on more than once. Plus, I love vanilla frosting on chocolate cake.

schoolnightdinnerideas...because you should eat your dinner first!

What if you want chocolate, but can't decide between brownies and cupcakes? These Brownie Batter Cupcakes from Kevinandamanda.com will solve this dilemma.

The first baking blog that ever took my breath away was sprinklebakes.com and I will never forget this picture of flaming strawberries on top of chocolate cupcakes even though I saw it many years ago (2011). I bet if you make these chocolate cupcakes for someone's birthday, they will never forget it either.

These chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter frosting from theknoxvilleholts.blogspot.com because chocolate and peanut butter are supposed to be together.

Homemade Hostess cupcakes with a little kick of expresso from 17andbaking. I love the smooth, shiny frosting on these and I like feeling like a kid again just looking at them.

No, it's not Martha Stewart, it's Margarita Stewart that has this amazing recipe for chocolate, chocolate chip, cream cheese cupcakes. Who needs frosting when you could sink your teeth into this?

I chose this dark chocolate peppermint cupcake from sweetrevelations because my boyfriend will only eat chocolate if it has peppermint with it. Click on her link for Dark Chocolate Mocha Cupcakes for a chocolate cake that will go good with any frosting.

10)

Well, that was easy. This cupcake obviously belongs on this list because it has a crown on it's head and thecupcakeproject (who has also done their research) has already crowned it number one.
