A collection of over 30 amazing and mouthwatering cupcakes and frosting. Whether you like cake mix cupcakes or from-scratch cupcakes, there is something for everyone!
Today I thought I would share with you a roundup of all my cupcake recipes here on Beyond Frosting. I consider cupcakes and frostings to be a specialty of mine, and they are the most fun to create.
I love the endless flavor combinations. In fact, one of my cupcake recipes was my first ever accepted submission on Foodgawker.
Lately I have been addicted to making chunky frostings filled with candy, cookies or other sweet treats.
The first frosting I ever posted was a Swiss Meringue Vanilla Bean buttercream, which was posted during the first month of my blog. I adore a good Swiss Meringue frosting, soft silky and very light.
I always said that I was never a huge frosting person, until I started making my own. Take a walk with me on my cupcake journey (please excuse the photos from some of my earlier posts).

You can never go wrong with a vanilla cupcakes or chocolate cupcakes, but you can always make them your own by adding a unique frosting recipe. Sometimes you might want a more seasonal recipe such as pumpkin cupcakes for fall or Lemon cupcakes for summer.
Almost all cupcake recipes can be prepared in advance. Depending on the type of frosting or if there’s a filling, it may need to be refrigerated. If you live in a warmer or more humid climate, you may also need to refrigerate your cupcakes.
Regardless, it’s best to store them in an airtight container.
A lot of my cupcake recipes call for sour cream. Sour cream is known for keeping cakes and cupcakes extra moist.
If you don’t have sour cream, often times a plain Greek yogurt is a good substitute for sour cream.
Your page is plagued with ads, it makes it really difficult to read.
Hi Amy- I am happy to show you the cost associated with running my business, thus making advertising necessary in order to provide FREE content. However I also ask that you keep in mind this is a very long post, with a lot of photos, so you’re going to see more in-content ads than a regular blog post. Have a great day.
I would like the recipe for perfect vanilla icing

I’m so glad I found this list of cupcake recipes! There are such a wide variety, I can’t wait to try them.
My only disappointment, however, would be that many of them seem to use boxed cake mix. I prefer making everything from scratch where possible, and was wondering if there were some basic substitutions for the cake mixes in some of the recipes?
Hi Mackenzie. I appreciate your note. I also like baking from scratch but I enjoy the convince of the boxed mix and hope that my readers who are less experience bakers will still be able to make a stunning desserts even if it is a box! For recipe from scratch, check out these: carrot cake cupcakes (or sweet potato cake), Chocolate Stout Cake, Mocha Irish Cream Cupcakes for two, Triple Irish Cream Cupcakes, Whiskey Chocolate Toffee Cupcakes, Spiced Cupcakes with Vanilla Buttercream, Banana Cake with Brown Butter Rum Frosting, Mini Neapolitan bundt cakes, Pineapple upside down cake, and most of my coffee cakes. However, I do have some favorite from scratch cupcakes that I like. Check out Life Love Sugar, I Am Baker, Crazy for Crust or Sally’s Baking Addiction.
This is my first time on a blog so bear with me. I love the collection of recipes and am planning on trying a few or more of them. I do have a problem and hope someone can help me. I need to make red icing for 2oo cupcakes for a wedding but have a huge issue with the red staining lips and tongues. What does everyone do to stop this from happening. Thanks Bonnie
Hi Bonnie! Welcome and thank you for stopping by! I hope you will stick around. Unfortunately, I think that red lips and tongues are likely inevitable when you need to make a bright red icing. I will suggest to use “No-taste red” when coloring your frosting. This will prevent your guest from tasting the food coloring. You can get this at a craft store like Michaels or even online. The other option is to make a red velvet buttercream. Do a Google search for this, there are some recipes from my friends, I Am Baker and Wine and Glue who both are quite talented!
Thanks so much for getting back so quickly. I shall make a batch of the red velvet buttercream up and see what my customer thinks of it. I will keep you posted. Bonnie
I just discovered your blog. I really like it!! I was looking for a vanilla frosting for my grandson’s Birthday cake. This sounds like the PERFECT VANILLA FROSTING.
