3. Dark Chocolate Mini Cupcakes

These mini cupcakes are an exception, as I rarely share mini desserts. They are fluffy, moist, and richly flavored, and their caramel frosting makes them a perfect bite-sized treat. You will have plenty to share after making this recipe, which takes less than an hour to prepare. Obviously, I still eat three at a time, but it’s not that important!

With creamy salted caramel frosting, these Dark Chocolate Mini Cupcakes are an indulgent bite-size treat. There is nothing like melt-in-your-mouth cupcakes and there is nothing better than my caramel frosting, though you can use any type you like.

5. Mini Mimosa Cupcakes

My holiday celebrations were incomplete without champagne and mimosas. In the past, I have shared them with my mom, but I haven’t been able to enjoy them this season. Rather than eating a meal, I enjoyed a cupcake. Hopefully, both will be enjoyable for you. You can drink Champagne and eat cupcakes too! Besides being moist and delicious, these cupcakes also have a great champagne flavor. You can definitely taste and enjoy the champagne flavor twice as much!

They look great with orange slices, but you could also sprinkle some sugar on them if you plan on making them for New Year’s.

The best cupcakes are moist, delicious, and topped with a tasty mimosa! May your New Year be filled with joy and happiness – I look forward to seeing you next year!

6. Mini Black Bottom Cupcakes

This time of year seems to be a time when everyone is having little get-togethers, such as luncheons, Saturday night parties, church events, and potlucks at the workplace. It’s here that these fantastic little Mini Black Bottoms come into play. The black bottom cupcakes, black bottom cheesecake cupcakes, or simply black bottoms have never been familiar to me until I needed to use an expiring block of cream cheese. Making them, baking them, packing them, and sharing them is extremely easy.

As this recipe has evolved over the years, I have adapted it not only by making it more chocolatey but also by making mini cupcakes out of it. Chocolate chip cheesecake layered inside a moist chocolate cake sounds delicious. There is no denying that this dessert is cheesecake-flavored, and the mini chocolate chips provide texture as well as an additional level of chocolate flavor.

7. Mini Strawberry Cupcakes

When my oldest daughter was a little girl, we made these cupcakes and shared them with friends. Since my daughter was obsessed with pink at the time, I made these pale pink cupcakes with her in mind. As well as offering her a festive birthday treat with real berries, I also gave her a festive birthday cupcake! A moist and light sweet treat, these mini cupcakes are flavored with strawberries and strawberry jam.

The puree made from fresh strawberries in these cupcakes delivers a big burst of berry flavor. Adding a slice of fresh strawberry to the cream cheese frosting creates a beautiful miniature masterpiece that the little ones enjoy. Maple syrup makes the cupcakes a nice option for a first birthday since they are lightly sweetened. That’s fine with me because I can finally make my grandmother’s mini strawberry cupcake.

8. Mini Lemon Cupcakes

There is no way I can walk past a display of tiny desserts without reaching for one of them. Obviously, the whole idea of making things smaller to eat less does not make sense to me. Mini Lemon Cupcakes were not made with the thought that less is more in mind, but it actually sort of is. One of these lemony treats is satisfying enough to fill you up even if you eat just one. One of these tasty bites won’t suffice, but I don’t expect anyone to stop at one!

Getting a closer look at the mini lemon cupcakes Now that my new adventure is underway, I have a zillion mini lemon cupcakes to celebrate. They are my favorite cupcakes because of the cream cheese frosting! Lemon zest gives it a nice zip and complements the super cheesy cheese! Make some candied lemon zest as a topping if you have any leftover lemon peel. It doesn’t have a recipe here, but you can find a lot of recipes online.

9. Mini Cheesecake Cupcakes

Mini cheesecakes are one of my favorite mini desserts because they can be made in a number of ways. Nothing can be more intimidating than a whole cheesecake. Graham cracker crust is exceptionally easy to make, and the cheesecake filling is super creamy and smooth. This recipe takes just minutes to prepare and makes the perfect portion size! Their portability makes them great to serve at parties and get-togethers!

We added a bit of tang to the filling by mixing cream cheese and sour cream together. When you do not have sour cream, you can replace it with greek yogurt.

10. Mini Rainbow Cupcakes

The thought of writing my first post since I was a kid is already making me grin. On this blog, it has been a while since I last posted Rainbow Cupcakes. Almost everyone who knows me would immediately guess that they are one of my favorite desserts to make. To surprise my favorite clients or to celebrate their birthdays, I usually made them towering rainbow cakes. I loved so many of the photos I was able to include, so brace yourself for more photos than I usually do!

11. Mini Chocolate Cupcakes

I’m all about minis these days after making my mini chocolate cake last week! The sentiment behind these mini chocolate cupcakes was what inspired me to make them. There’s something about mini desserts that just tastes better! This may have something to do with the larger amount of buttercream on each cupcake, or simply its cuteness. No matter how you make them, they’re fun to make and suitable for most occasions.

My favorite use for them is as a portion control tool, but they are also great for parties and entertaining. It is equally satisfying to eat a mini cupcake by myself or with my kids as if it was a larger treat. You can set out Mini Chocolate Cupcakes for dessert at parties and entertaining. The tops can be decorated with any flavored frosting you like, and they can be topped with any flavor frosting of your choice. With mini cupcakes, your guests will have more options.

17. ICEE Mini Cupcakes

As part of the end-of-the-year softball party, I volunteered to host. There will be 12 first-graders, along with their parents and siblings. The ICEE remains a childhood favorite of adults and a childhood favorite of children today. Kids love these cupcakes, and they are perfect to take to sports games, birthday parties, or for no particular reason. This is a yellow cupcake with cherry ICEE frosting.

With the cupcakes, I chose a theme of a softball snack shack. There’s something about that bright cherry flavor that she loves. For whatever reason, I made mini cupcakes, so there are a lot of them. My knowledge of how many it would produce was limited. The most popular cupcakes were these ICEEs! Easy to prepare, tasty and inviting to eat, and an all-around success!

18. Mini Whoopie Pies

Amish people in Pennsylvania and New England enjoy whoopie pies as a traditional dessert. It has been possible to find packaged whoopie pies in supermarkets and convenience stores all over the country since 1925. A whoopie pie is a traditional New England dessert made of two soft chocolate cookies sandwiched with a fluffy marshmallow filling. Not only are these nostalgic sandwich desserts delicious, but they’re also nostalgic!

Traditionally, whoopie pies are filled with marshmallows, but some recipes also call for buttercream. Besides being delightful to eat, they’re also oh-so indulgent. Recipes with other flavors of cake are also available, including vanilla and pumpkin! There is a soft consistency to the batter, similar to a cake batter and cookie dough, and the cake has a tender texture.

19. Marzipan Mini Cupcakes

A cupcake just like this appears in a book my daughter will be given for her birthday this month, and she likes to grab it with both hands and pretend to eat it. Her only cupcake was over a year ago, meaning she hasn’t had one in her lifetime. Her opinion about cupcakes is unwavering. The bacon cake batter I had leftover earlier this week caused me to have a leftover cake batter. My only problem was thinking small enough to create something neat with it…

It’s no surprise that these mini cupcakes are right-sized because they are rich, dense, and flavorful. This recipe uses marzipan, which is available at many supermarkets and baking supply shops. It adds a nutty taste and moisture to the batter. The dark chocolate glaze is applied after the cupcakes have been baked and filled with white chocolate. A little extra almond flavor can also be added by adding chopped almonds and lightly toasted almond slivers.

20. Hummingbird Mini Cupcakes

New York City has welcomed spring! I’m baking while the sun shines, the birds chirp, and the birds are chirping. For this season’s celebration, I made hummingbird cupcakes. When I made the hummingbird cake for my dad’s birthday a year and a half ago, I was introduced to the cake for the first time. In the 1970s, Southern Living published the recipe, which has since become one of the magazine’s most popular. There’s nothing better than a good cake!

This recipe is effective because bananas add texture and flavor to the cake batter. As well as crushed pineapple, which is not drained, uses dried pineapple. In combination with cinnamon cream cheese frosting, they make a perfect dessert. Cupcakes with hummingbirds are moist, flavorful, and unique. Cinnamon cream cheese frosting, pineapple, bananas, and pecans make these delicious!

All you need to do is mix a few ingredients together for these champagne cupcakes!
