Cupcakes to Break Your Diet
We don’t know about you, but sticking to a diet can be really, really hard when there’s sweet treats available. Personally, our biggest vice has got to be the deliciously divine cupcake! Endless flavours of different fillings and toppings means there’s a cupcake flavour to suit any taste preference and no matter what the occasion, a cupcake is always appreciated.
It seems like everyone has cupcake mania, and there’s always new recipes being created to entice us into just one more… So here at Smart Gift Solutions, we’ve put together a selection of our favourite cupcakes that we’ve come across and simply cannot resist. It’s these naughty treats that make us break our Summer diet, and they’re so good we don’t even feel guilty!
1. Triple Chocolate Nutella Cupcake
This delicious triple chocolate Nutella cupcake is a grand indulgence, and it’s one of our favourite recipes we’ve stumbled upon recently... with Nutella sponge and buttercream icing, drizzled with a chocolate ganache sauce and finished with a chocolate hazelnut Ferrerer Roche truffle topping, it’s the cupcake tower of chocolate dreams. Head over to Baker By Nature to discover the recipe, and get making your very own taste of heaven.
2. Coconut and Lime Cupcake
Sometimes (and only sometimes) can chocolate be a little too indulgent for our senses, and we need something light and refreshing to make a change. We recently discovered these delicious coconut and lime cupcakes with the perfect amount of zest to get those taste buds fluttering. With a blended lime and coconut sponge, it’s topped with toasted coconut flakes and a wedge of lime for the perfect kick. It's simply a great summer cupcake, and you can find the recipe at Dessert Now Dinner Later
3. Grill Cupcakes
Combine the thought of sweet and savoury with these awesome Grill Cupcakes. As well as tasting delicious, cupcakes can also come in all sorts of fun and quirky styles, to suit a range of different holiday occasions. We found a brilliant cupcake for the summer barbeque seasons over at Frugal Mom, with its very own grill and skewer topping! The whimsical dessert is a fantastic way to surprise friends and family, with jelly sweets substituting the skewer vegetables and icing for the grill. Its a unique idea that’s fun to look at but tasty too!
4. Mint Chocolate Cupcakes
Although the idea of mint chocolate cupcakes doesn't sound particularly original or show-stopping, this delightful recipe from Annie's Eats can't be missed this summer. With a light, creamy mint buttercream frosting, a chocolate sponge and chocolate sprinkles, it both looks and tastes delicious. And what’s more, the minty flavours are the perfect match for a gin and tonic or mojitio - its the summer snack you've been looking for, trust us.
5. Cinnamon Pancake Cupcakes
Perhaps the most indulgent of them all, this is a cupcake that we simply couldn't turn down, no matter how full or what diet we're supposed to be following...Cinnamon sponge, whipped maple cream cheese frosting, and mini pancakes drenched in maple syrup, its the perfect breakfast-themed cupcake treat. You won't be able to resist salivating over its sweet, rich tastes and it looks awesome too! Find the recipe at Baked by Rachel.
