I own a bakery that specializes in cupcakes, so I have lots of ideas

Right now we're doing egg nog cupcakes with egg nog frosting, gingerbread with cream cheese frosting, pumpkin with cream cheese frosting and "candy cane crunch" which is a vanilla cupcake that has crushed candy cane pieces stirred into the batter with peppermint frosting (made, of course, with crushed candy canes).

Let me know if you would like me to PM you a recipe!

This is super easy, but tastes like it is an "involved" recipe.

The chocolate peppermint combination makes both taste better.

Devils Food cake mix.
The pink Andes Candies (they are peppermint flavored)
Use pre made white frosting. I prefer the "fluffy white"

Sprinkle the tops with crushed candy-canes or more of the Andes peppermints. I prefer pulverized candy canes, and my husband enjoys smashing them.

Sometimes I also make it as a cake to save time in a 9X11 pan, there are never any leftovers.

I do salted caramel cupcakes! I normally do everything from scratch (cake/frosting/caramel), but here's the "cheater's" version that would be easier for a child and still tastes just as good: **ETA: Just realized that you started this thread Pat, and that your daughter is not a child, lol!

- Any kind of chocolate cake mix
- Hershey's Caramel Ice Cream Topping (the non-hardening kind)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Skor bars (probably about 4)
- Frosting (I do a homemade chocolate buttercream, but that some may not like that much chocolate. Vanilla buttercream or vanilla in a can works just as well-- just not cream cheese frosting!)

-Prepare cupcakes according to package directions and pop them in the oven. During the last few minutes of baking, pour the caramel topping into a glass or plastic liquid measuring cup and mix in the salt. Microwave for 45 seconds-1 minute. When warmed, pour into a squeeze bottle (easy to find at any craft store in the baking section). As soon as cupcakes are done, insert squeeze bottle into each cupcake and inject a bit of caramel inside. Once cupcakes are cool, frost. Smash Skor bars into tiny pieces and pour into a bowl. Roll the frosted cupcake top into the Skor bar and then drizzle with remaining caramel in squeeze bottle. Very moist and VERY delicious!!

I would love the peppermint cupcake recipe...that sounds soooo good to me!

Shh...I got the babycakes cupcake maker for my daughter for christmas, along with the minnie mouse cake mix and sprinkles. If you can PM the peppermint recipe I can add it to the gift for her. I want to collect as many recipes for her as I can. We can bake them in the oven together, or she can do them in her cupcake maker on her own.

Babycakes is seriously the most fun invention ever! I use it at parties all the time.

Oh good! I was hoping it was...I hate buying something that looks amazingly cool and it ends up stinking!

Not sure if you are still looking for cupcake ideas but one of my favorite is French Toast Cupcakes with a Maple Buttercream icing.
