cupcake ideas?

Nova726

I've been trying to decide what to bring to the Jets game on Sunday and l decided to just bring cupcakes.  I want to bring 2 kinds though and while I know I one of them will be chocolate cupcakes with a bailey's frosting, I can't decide what kind to make the others.  Any ideas?

Funfetti with rainbow chip frosting....

That is sad it is my favorite but it brings a smile to my face with all of those colors.

vanilla/or lemon cupcakes with maybe....a limey/citrus frosting? with candied lime zest?

are you going with the green/white theme or just cupcakes in general?

I did banana with a chocolate ganache a few months back, and they were a huge hit.

Ugh, I'm jealous.

My BFF calls and tells me she made some last night, but frosting with confetti frosting ::shakes head:: Not the same.

Maybe vanilla with a cream cheese icing and you could use food coloring in the cup mix to make make them green & white.

wrangler - I can't see the pic

 

thanks girls, I'm willing to do a red velvet with cc I'm just worried about the cc frosting sitting out all day (it's supposed to be a nice day here on Sunday)  The lemon/lime idea is sounding really good, I love citrusy stuff.

I so could go for a cupcake now.  There is a posh cupcake bakery near me, and my favorite one is lemon, it has a light raspberry cream filling and lemon icing.  Heavenly.

P.S.  Nova my cat (the white one) is named after Chad Pennington.

If you already want to do chocolate with bailey's frosting you can go out and make Irish Car Bomb cupcakes, Chocolate guiness cupcakes with baileys and irish cream frosting :oD  here's the recipe, I made them for St. Patricks day and brought them to work, they were a HUGE hit!  I saved some for home too and DH still brags about them to all his xbox live buddies haha.

I got him in 2003, when the Jets were still huge and I think that was the year they crushed the Colts in the playoffs.  Pennington was a big deal that year, and when I got the kitten, he was this little white, blue-eyed kitten.  Since Chad is a blond, blue-eyed quarterback it seemed to fit!

 Not too strong...I hate beer for the most part but it really just gave it a nice maltiness to it and just a slightly different that plain chocolate cake flavor.  It's only one cup so it really wasn't much   now the frosting... haha you *really* taste the baileys in that and a hint of jameson... cause it doesn't get cooked out hehe.
