«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 272 Newer› Newest»I've been hoping someone would come out with a black licorice cupcake. I'd be all over that!
I would love to try a dark chocolate cupcake that has cayenne pepper in it. That combination just has my mouth watering!
Probably the Chai cupcake. I'm not a big fan of chai, so I don't know why I tried it.
I had a caramel apple bacon cupcake: Apple cake style cupcake w/ caramel creamcheese frosting and little bacon bits sprinkled on top, SO DELISH, PROMISE!
I have enjoyed a chocolate cupcake that had a great dose of chili pepper.
I'd love someone to make a Midnight Margarita cupcake! and actually include the rum!! seriously, it'd rock
I would like to try an avocado pistachio cupcake! Yum!
Email: devioussoyabeans [at] gmail [dot] com
Root Beer Float!
Garlic cupcake....was not very good :(
anna.c.chou@gmail.com
Champagne chocolate cupcakes. It was an interesting mix....
I'm not too adventurous when it comes to the cupcakes I've tasted, but hearing some of the other comments about cupcakes with chili powder does sound like something fun to try!
Probably the ricotta and marmalade cupcake that I actually made because I wanted to try it! LOL! It was quite good!
It has to be cinnamon dulce de leche! It tastes like brazilian churros!! LOVE IT!
Chocolate orange chipotle. Not my favorite, but it worked.
I made rhubarb cupcake with a rhubarb simple syrup in the frosting. It was interesting, for sure. lol
betsy@javacupcake.com
Honestly, I haven't tried that many crazy flavours, but one that was fantastic was caramel cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream. Its heaven just thinking about it!
salted caramel. Doesnt seem very daring, but it was so good.
I'm pretty boring... I had a dark chocolate and chipotle one with a dulce de leche swirl once that I made, and I recently did some black sesame seed ones too.
I haven't tried anything unusual, but I would think strawberry/raspberry jalepeno cream cheese cupcake would be yummy! =)
Now it is quite common, but a year ago I tasted for the first time a bacon, chocolate and jalapeño cupcake..it wasn't bad but I would prefer plain chocolate...
The Yellow Leaf Cupcake Co in Seattle makes a Tomato Soup cupcake that is supposed to be amazing, but they didn't have it the last time I went in. Still, it's the one flavour that's intrigued me lately and I'm definitely going to try it soon :)
Someone had a broccoli one on a website I was browsing recently. Hmmm, not sure about that one!
I am pretty boring. The strangest I've had was Lemon Lavender.
Oooh, good question! I think the most unusual cupcake I've ever had was lavender-peach. So good! :)
I had a bacon chocolate cupcake at Tee & Cakes in Boulder, CO. It wasn't that unusual tasting though. They have a beer batter cupcake with salted caramel frosting I've been dying to try though!
Probably a gingersnap with maple butterscotch frosting. Not too terribly exotic, but delish!
Avocado and dark chocolate. I've never had it, but I'm thinking it might be a good combination. Of course, I could also be dead wrong =)
Chocolate Zucchini with cream cheese frosting! The best part is that the kids don't even know the zucchini is there!
I haven't tired too much because I love the basics and always seem to go with what I know, but I'd love to try a PB & J or a Chocolate/Bannana sunday cupcake ... sounds good to me!
I've been dying to try a chai latte cupcake or bake them myself...yum!
The Chai sounds divine! I think a cocoa-pepper would be interesting since I saw some hot cocoa mix in that flavor!
Probably the weirdest cupcake I've tasted is a chocolate mojito cupcake...or the one I made last week that had mozzarella buttercream!
I stick to normal flavors, but I am both intrigued and disgusted by cupcakes that include bacon as a flavor. Everyone knows that bacon makes everything better, but a cupcake? Really?
mmm, pandan!
OK, it's unusual *here*...
Fae - swisskapolka at the gmail dot com
I'm pretty boring when it comes to cake. I like chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate. I guess I would want a chocolate, banana, oreo cupcake.
I would quite like to try grape cupcakes.
I'd like a banana spice with a caramel penuche frosting. Yummmmm....
Someone earlier said a beer batter cupcake with salted caramel frosting. I may have to figure out how to make that before I can sleep tonight!
Purple Yam!
Something called The Hummingbird from either Cupcake Royale or Trophy Cupcakes. Also, I've made Chai cupcakes (yum!) and would really love to try some of these crazy ones y'all are mentioning...
I had a rosewater cupcake with lavender frosting. It made me feel like I was eating a flower garden!
The most unusual cupcake I've tried was chipotle and chocolate (your Fire and Ice cupcake, Bakerella!!), and I loved that.
A flavor I'd like to try would be mango with a key lime type icing.
I've heard of a french toast cupcake with bacon. I'd really like to try that!
Oooh, I tried a squash and sweet potato cupcake once. It was magnifique!
It certainly is not that adventurous but I did once have an Sanbitter cupcake with orange buttercream frosting. Since I'm not a fan of sanbitter I didn't really care for it:(
nutmegnanny (at) hotmail (dot) com
i've heard of but never tried a Coconut Cupcake with Curry Coconut Rice Pudding filling, topped with Lemon Curry Curd and Sweet Basil Cream. yup that would be a bit unusual but still curious of how it would taste all together
Sweet & Salty Honey Peanut Cupcakes are an unusual favorite!
i saw these fig and quinoa cupcakes on a website that i really want to try, sounds delicious!
Probably the strawberry-peach-basil cupcakes I made for a bake off at work.
Chocolate covered licorice. YUM!!!
Strawberry rosemary or garlic, but I'm guessing that WD-50 probably offers up something WAY weirder. Fun contest!
I made a chocolate cupcake+avocado icing before. It was pretty darn good! Avocados are used a lot in sweet Asian desserts so I am use to the flavor but some of my taste testers were iffy on it. HA HA. Thanks for hosting this fun giveaway! Hope I win :)
I'd like a cupcake with an amaretto flavor.
I've always wanted to try a chocolate caramel and bacon cupcake--I think it might be pretty good. :)
I had a pink lemonade cupcake complete with pink lemon glazed frosting... AMAZING!
Thanks for the giveaway =)
I haven't had any too-crazy cupcakes (although I'm open!)
My friend and I made chocolate stout cupcakes! Well, they were supposed to be chocolate stout but we just used regular beer. Anyway, they were AWESOME!
I am dying to try a champagne cupcake with some whipped cream and fresh strawberries!!
I dunno why but that maple bacon combination sounds heavenly. I really haven't had too many crazy flavor combinations yet.
Grapefruit cupcakes are great!
If I could find a cupcake with bacon on it I would love to try it :)
I wish I could try unusual flavors, though the "usual" are always reliably good anyway. If I could try any, hmm, well your chai cardamom sounds good! :)
So technically, this wasn't a cupcake, but a bundt cake, but I think it should count because it's all cake. Anyway, it was a white chocolate-golden beet cake. Yeah, one of the worst things I've ever made.
Wow, so many great suggestions on the comments! I haven't had any unusual flavors yet, but I know I would love anything with bacon. Yum.
Just cake, not cuppie: strawberry corn.
Maple bacon was odd for me at first but now i love it!
Mexican hot chocolate with chili powder.
I've made chocolate chipotle cupcakes, and purchased salted caramel ones...heaven!!
This isn't very exciting, but I had a vanilla cupcake with mint frosting that was very good, and unexpected. I know, I know...boring. I would love to try a cupcake with bacon involved.
Interesting cupcakes? I can't say I have eaten anything too weird. Although I would be totally willing. Veggies, spices, any of that. Maybe I should do a Curried sweet potato cupcake with a coconut frosting. Hmmmm.....
I ate a margarita cupcake once and it was delicious. I'm still trying to figure out to to replicate the taste!
I had a passionfruit cupcake once, but that's about as exciting as it's gotten for me.
I think I ate an Horchata cupcake once, if not, I will be next week!
i was a judge in a local cupcake competition and one of the entries was a french toast cupcake with maple syrup buttercream topped with bacon. unfortunately it sounded much better than it tasted!!
the cupcakes i would love so much to try is by "whiskie bits" in oakland, california-- i've only seen her cupcakes online but the flavours sound soooo awesome. "heirloom tomato" -- heirloom tomato cake, lemon, mediterranean spices with Italian basil-lemon mascarpone cream cheese frosting.
WHUT! so awesome!!!!
I haven't tried anything too unusual yet... I keep eyeing the menu at Trophy Cupcakes for something different to try, though. I'm not adventurous enough to try making something unusual, in case I don't like it and am stuck with a 2 dozen cupcakes.
I would say that the most unsual cupcake flavor I've had was a S'mores cupcake - matcha cupcakes were normal, as were roasted vanilla matcha but this s'mores cupcake was something else. A cream-filled vanilla cake with chocolate frosting toasted marshmallow and salty graham crumbs on top - it was amazing!
I don't know if this is that unusual, but I've had an amazing Margarita cupcake.
That maple bacon cupcake sounds delicious! I'll have to keep my eye out...
Thai curry.
Definitely a brown butter pancetta cupcake with cherry filling and brown sugar sour cream icing. Sweet & savory
Guinness cupcake! I was craving chocolate but this was all they had. I am not a fan of Guinness but the cupcake was surprisingly delicious!
Green tea cupcake with red bean frosting in Japan! Nom nom nom.... So yummy...
Also saw some weird stuff that I was too afraid to try, like Sea Urchin Icecream. Blegh.
I had a margarita flavored cupcake. That was a bit unusual, but very good!
I make a banana-bacon-peanut butter cupcake that is TO DIE FOR - I love it so much!!! I also had an orange vanilla blue moon hefeweisen cupcake - yum!
most unusual i've tried is not that unusual- guiness and chocolate with bailey's cream cheese frosting.
though one time i tried to make strawberry limeade cupcakes! they were unusual in that they were disgusting. must always double check to see if a recipe is from a vegan blog.
oh,most unsual definetly has to mango and pineapple explosion. sounds weird but tastes GOOD
defintely beetroot and polenta...
weird...
definitely proved to myself with that cupcake that i dont like beetroot in any form..
at least it was a pretty bright purple colour :)
I tried once sweet tomato cupcake..not bad...not bad...

We don't have cupcakes sold where I live, so I only eat what I bake, but the most weird ones I made were chocolate with zucchini. I would like to try carrot cupcakes!

I've never had any unusual cupcake flavors! I did recently make nutmeg muffins, however, but that's not very unusual at all, nor is it a cupcake.
Would love to make a bacon cupcake to try. bacon and cake how could it not be good.
I made chocolate chai cupcakes last year. They turned out great, but were definitely the most unusual cupcake flavor I've had.
Hmm I'm pretty old fashion when it comes to my cake flavors, but the southern girl in me would love to try a maple bacon cupcake. I mean BACON makes everything better right???
I made pine nut cupcakes with basil frosting once, they were good!
I keep seeing all these cupcakes with bacon popping up, I'd love to try one! I'm too chicken to make that one myself, I'd never hear the end of it if it was a dud!
BLT cupcakes from More in Chicago. It wasn't my fav.... I liked their Bacon Maple cupcake better :)
I'd LOVE to try a maple bacon cupcake AND a margarita cupcake!!

I tasted onion marmalade cupcake and it was gooey and good!!!!
Thai basil-lemon-rhubarb cupcakes! Weird, but tasty!
Margarita Cupcakes! Actually kind of delicious....kind of :-)
There was a tomato basil one that I tried which...wasn't too spectacular.
Maple Bacon intrigues me... I've never gotten too weird with cupcakes though... this saddens me :-)
I've made parmesan chive popovers, which is kind of like a cupcake - and delicious, but I would like to try a Shirley Temple flavored cupcake - sprite in the cake batter and grenadine flavored frosting!
I'm really not adenturous when it comes to cupcake. I'm always worried I will be disappointed with my choice so I play it safe with something that I know I love.
I love red velvet cupcakes! I know its not an unusual flavor but those are my favorite! I would but for trying different flavors - I just havent had a chance to make any, plus we dont have many bakeries that do cupcakes around me.
The craziest cupcake flavor I have tried is maple and bacon. Actually, quite delicious! But unfortunately, there is only one cupcake shop within a 60+ mile radius so I don't get to try many :(
Maple Bacon. Intense, but delicious!
a friend of mine routinely makes a lovely cardamom cupcake with a honey-cream cheese frosting. They aren't crazy unusual, but they are delightful.
The Bleeding Heart Bakery in Chicago comes out with new cupcake flavors each month and one of them for this month is called the Thanksgiving cupcake and its a sweet potato cupcake, filled w/pralines topped w/ cranberry relish, and toasted marshmallow... To me it sounds like a crazy combination and I'm curious to try it!!

I had a Mojito Cupcake with a Rum Soaked, Vanilla, Lime cupcake, with a Fresh Mint and Sugar Cane Creamy Frosting. Very unique and delicious.!
It's not that unusual, but salted carmel is the most unusual I've ever had.
I would love to try any kind of bacon flavor. Unfortunately, all I can get around here is standard cupcakes. Cute shop, I loved the cupcake plates and pedestals!
Zucchini chocolate chip cupcakes with cinnamon buttercream...yummy
I am going with Chai Tea - which sounded strange but was truly wonderful!
I've never had any weird cupcake flavors, but I think it'd be neat to try a margarita cupcake.
Not too many wacky cupcake combos my way . . . not too many cupcake shops, either :(
I stick to pretty simple cupcakes usually, so the most adventurous I've gotten is ginger-lime with lime/cardamom icing.
But I'd love to try a something spicy-sweet, like the second poster mentioned, a Mexican hot-cocoa chocolate cupcake with cayenne 'n cinnamon frosting.
Or given the amazing ability of ground black pepper to pep up an apple pie (pun intended, sorry), I'd dive into some sort of black pepper-apple cupcake with maybe a creamcheese frosting. (and fresh pepper ground on top!)
Nacho cupcakes!!
Some of these sound fantastic
Peanut butter and jelly cupcakes! Takes you back to kindergarten. Yum!
lavender red velvet.
they were pretty awesome.
I haven't had anything particularly strange, but I guess the most unique would be either peanut butter and jelly or vanilla cupcakes filled with cookie dough.
Mahhhgarita cupcake. DELICIOUS!
I've always wanted to try a smore's cupcake! It's on my list and i hope to get to it very soon!!
I haven't tried any of the unusual flavours in the world, but I must say, I'd love to try a flavour that involves bacon. My mind still has trouble grasping the concept of bacon in sweets.
I love to make unusual cupcakes - My weirdest flavor combo may be my "Mikey Likes" cupcake, which is a Coca-Cola cupcake with Pop Rocks frosting. I am lucky to have very nice friends who are willing to try anything!
Horchata and Mojito cupcakes
I actually tried the tomato soup cupcake...more like a spice cake.
I love trying unusually flavored foods. Unfortunately, I haven't had any odd flavored cupcakes. If I could choose any to try, it would have to include bacon. I LOVE the combination of salty and sweet, and bacon makes everything better!
Margarita cupcake- almost TOO close to a real margarita, haha.
I made the honey cupcakes from MS Cupcakes - not terribly "extreme," I know, but unusual to me! They were really yummy - reminded me of carrot cake.
Not too unusual, but yummy!
CINNAMON SPICED CAPPUCCINO CUPCAKES
Garlic or Garlic Margarita Cupcake. They were both pretty gross.
chocolate zucchini cake
I would love to try a bacon chocolate one!

I've had Almond Green Tea Matcha, Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla, and Dark Chocolate cupcakes from http://sugarinccupcakes.com/organic-cupcakes/ and they are excellent!
Eva (the owner) has other flavors that I have wanted to try such as Lavender & Rose Water, Horchata, and White Chocolate Raspberry.
I would love an amaretto or amaretto sour cupcake...ummmm
blech peanut butter jelly cupcake! Didn't like it at all!
I had a pink lemonade cupcake at Gigi's Cupcakes in Chattanooga Tennessee and it was wonderful!

Mmmm. Applesauce cupcake with caramel frosting.
I make browned butter cupcakes for DH nearly every year - one year, I put a few fresh blueberries in the middle. Delicious! I've also made several batches of lavender chocolate cupcakes - so pretty...
And I am a sucker for curry & chocolate together - I'm thinking a sticky chocolate cupcake with a coconut & curry-flavored buttercream...
I haven't really tried anything unusual but I love mint chocolate chip and would love to try that in a cupcake.
I would love to try Chai cupcake!
Caramel Apple
I would love to try a chocolate bacon cupcake. Something about that combination seems so wrong, but from what I've heard, it tastes oh so right!
Eggnog Cupcakes were the most unusual. They were yummy good, with a sprinkle of nutmeg on top.
A margarita cupcake. I followed the recipe exactly, but the tequilla was seriously overdone.
red bean flavored cupcake
I don't think I have ever really tried anything unusual, but I would try anything once!
OH I would love to try some unusual fruit flavors - papaya or passion fruit. I know I have seen watermelon but never tasted it!
sweet giveaway cakespy! thanks for including me....root beer soda flavored....a bit too sweet for me though...
I've had a really good Matcha cupcake recently. I'd like to see a savory cuppy involving tomato somehow (roasted tomato soup anyone ?). Maybe a cuppy with some Italian or French cheeses involved...
I think that would be lovely.
*cheers*
i'm not one to experiment much with my cupcakes so that being said the most unusual for me was tres leches, it was great though!
I have tried tomato soup cupcakes at yellow leaf in Seattle. Pretty good, I have the cake recipe and it taste sort of like pumpkin.
Peanut butter cupcakes with a banana cream filling and chocolate frosting. My Elvis cupcake!
Pumpkin with creamcheese frosting.
cindyc725 at gmail dot com
Mmmm...most Austin cupcake places don't make anything terribly exciting, so the most exciting ones I've tasted are ones I made: Caramel cardamom cake with milk chocolate pistachio filling and caramel buttercream or Strawberry cake with white chocolate basil cream filling and white chocolate buttercream.
avocado cupcakes!! i want to try them and desperately want to bake them!!! its so weird and it would be a pretty green color and oddly enough somewhat good for you
Guinness and dark chocolate with blackberry frosting.. it was a strange combo but actually was not too bad.
Love the blog,
Michael
I've had a root beer cupcake. Not bad, kind of like gingerbread.
I would love to try an amaretto chocolate strawberry cupcake. I have not had the opportunity to try some unique or exotic flavors, but would love to bake up this combination.
Bacon cupcakes. It sounded strange to me, but everyone knows bacon tastes great on ANYTHING!
Dr. Pepper, and both the cupcake and frosting tasted like it, 2nd runner up would be a maple cupcake with maple frosting and bacon, the cupcake wasn't so unusual... just the bacon, but very very good!!
courtney.kieras (at) gmail (dot) com
French toast cupcakes from Sugar Mamas in Austin. Delicious!!
I would definitely try the cupcake with bacon and chocolate. Everyone says it is good; I'd like to see for myself!
The weirdest one I tried was chocolate-curry. And it was surprisingly good! :)
BBQ Peach at More in Chicago.
Black bottom cupcakes with cream cheese and cherry pie filling, yum!
sweet potato cuppie. delish!
Most unusual? Sadly, I'm not adventurous in my cake-eating. I love chocolate - all chocolate if possible. Did I mention I love chocolate? :)
my favorite unusual cupcake was a peanut butter and bacon cupcake -- dark chocolate peanut butter cupcake with peanut butter buttercream frosting that was sprinkled with extra-crispy crumbled bacon. delicious!
I'd love to try a candied ripe olive cupcake. Otherwise, the most exotic I've had is lime.
Bacon & peanut butter.
Lavender with pumpkin. Supposedly the flavors/scents that stimulate men's senses? I'm a girl so I don't know if it works, but it tasted like perfume. Ugh.
I've never tried it, but I'm curious to taste a bacon cupcake!
I'd love to try french toast cupcakes.
Wish I had more crazy cupcakes under my belt...I would totally try anything with bacon or chocolate, haha!
The most unusual & delicious cupcake I have had is a bittersweet chocolate cupcake injected with passion fruit ganache, topped with more passion fruit ganache & chocolate shavings. The sweet/sour passionfruit balanced the bittersweet chocolate perfectly.
Tomato studded cornmeal cupcake with a pesto cream cheese icing. It was a proud and delicious moment.
I have never tried an unusual flavored cupcake...just chocolate and vanilla...
I made cannoli flavored cupcakes once. They weren't bad, but to me, they didn't taste like cannoli. It was kind of a disappointment, really!
Someone served a margarita cupcake to me- it was wonderful. I asked for the recipe, still haven't gotten it!
lavender cupcake, lemon icing! yum
chellybelle77 @ yahoo.com
Mint, It was too over the top for me
I'm making chocolate covered bacon cupcakes. They are GOOD!
I've made an mean all-spice cupcake too.
I had mini cup- pies once and they were AWESOME!!!
I made some vegan matcha cupcakes once that were pretty amazing.
I haven't tried any yet, but I'm diggin the idea of trying the chai-cardamom you mentioned.
chocolate with carmelized bacon
French Toast Cupcakes! I made them once and they are a hit everyone always asks me to make them now :)
I'd have to say the Red Bull ones I made, it almost tastes like caramel but...not.
In fact I took these to a car meet and I think some people ate at least 3-4 each after the initial "...YOU MADE CUPCAKES WITH RED BULL WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" reaction
I once had friend's cupcake that tasted like minty toothpaste. She was trying a new vegan recipe, replacing butter with applesauce.
It would be Red Velvet. They were not traditional colors though. They were for Halloween so it was orange cake and black frosting.
pomegranate and zuchini!
I think an egg nog cupcake would be good - with some sort of nutmeg buttercream frosting. also in summer a watermelon cupcake with a fresh strawberry frosting would be fun, esp with a fresh sliced strawberry on top!
wasabi carrot cupcake from my aunt!!! It was slightly spicy from the wasabi that provided a kick from the usual carrot cupcake. I love it!!!
Sour Mamba Cupcakes! Surprisingly delicious :)
Guiness cupcakes with a coffee ganache frosting...they were yummy and I don't like beer or coffee
I've made Maple Cupcakes with Maple Frosting & Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Lime Buttercream Frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World by Isa Chandra Moskowitz & Terry Hope Romero. When I did I accidently switched the frostings on some so that was a weird but good taste.
I haven't tried anything unusual...I'm So boring! :) But how about a fruity-chocolatey-mint medaly in a cupcake! :) Your yogurt/ice cream sounded so good! - maybe in a cupcake it would be just as scrumptious?
I haven't really tried anything unusual lately, either. However, my friend made two tone cupcakes for her bf's birthday a few weeks ago. They were brownie on the bottom and yellow cake on the top. Then, they had a yummy cream cheese frosting. They were wonderful!
I haven't tried anything unusual. I did see a recipe for a wasabi cupcake.
I would like to try a chocolate cupcake with some heat like a chipotle or cayenne pepper.
