Okay, let’s do this! While these cupcakes got rave reviews from the people who ate them, this top 5 best cupcake recipe list comes from me purely observing the faces of those said eaters 😉

I watch for people to make a particular face. It’s the one where they take a bite, taste the contents of the cupcake, and then as if they had just bitten into a piece of heaven, their head tilts back, their mouth gapes open, their eyes close, and then they moan 😉

It seems that the feel-good-taste-good face is universal amongst all, young and old… okay, maybe the young people add a little hopping up and down, while the more older folks tend to just stuff the whole cupcake into their mouth… But they all stuff their faces in the same way if the first bite surprises them. And most, if not all of them, will eat every morsel, including the weird sprinkle candies that might be added on, using their forks to scrape the icing and every last crumb off their plates as it it might be their last meal.

These top five cupcakes made the grade because the people who ate them commented about the combination of flavors and the richness of the cake. I’m tired of going into cupcake franchises and sampling cupcakes only to discover a boring, flat, dull cupcake that lacks moisture and texture. And what’s more is the icing is usually just whatever… Eating a cupcake from a shop usually entices me to go home and do better… and that, my friends, is healthy motivation and inspiration!

This cupcake website was designed to not only bring you the most scrumptious cupcake recipes, including, chocolate, red velvet, and vanilla, but to bring to you, some of the greatest flavor combinations that could ever be thought up! These cupcakes are inspired by food and flavors that me me drool. Many cupcake recipes have been sent to me as handed down gems that were secret family recipes!

So, some of there are your grandmother’s cupcakes… and all I’m sayin’ is, don’t fix somethin’ that ain’t broke. If it’s yummy, let’s cook it up and eat it!

So here they are, the TOP 5 CUPCAKE RECIPES featured on Sweetie Pie and Cupcakes!
