I've had some ideas for "ideal" fancy cupcakes. Ones I've never really run into in real life but would love to find. I'm not a skilled enough baker to make them! I love painting food so I'll paint them until I can satisfy my cravings.
Blueberry Lavender Cupcake - Vanilla cupcake, topped with clotted cream icing and blueberry-lavender compote.
Pumpkin Spice Cupcake - Pumpkin bread, topped with pumpkin spice cream cheese frosting, chocolate leaf, and cinnamon sugar dusting.
Strawberry Balsamic Cupcake with Ricotta Buttercream - Vanilla cake filled with strawberry compote. Ricotta buttercream topped with fresh strawberries, and balsamic glaze drizzle.
