40 best cupcake-frosting combinations of all time

That is the bold claim being made over at The Stir. Here's a sample of the list (starting with ones I personally find interesting):

26. Bacon cupcakes with maple frosting

27. Dark chocolate cupcakes with mint frosting

28. Oatmeal cupcakes with white chocolate frosting

29. Espresso cupcakes with chocolate frosting

30. Cherry vanilla cupcakes with white chocolate frosting

31. Caramel apple cupcakes with cinnamon cream frosting

32. German chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting

33. OIive oil cupcakes with lemon-thyme frosting

34. Green tea cupcakes with chocolate frosting

35. Butternut squash cupcakes with cream cheese frosting


After five-plus years of cupcake blogging, my take is that it's all subjective. There can never be a best. For instance, I don't as a rule like cream cheese frosting or red velvet cupcakes, but tons of people do. It's all good. They are cupcakes, after all. What do you think?

I cannot imagine eating an olive oil cupcake. It kinda made me gag to think about:(
