Cupcake conundrum

Posted by kmnola, January 17, 2008

Okay, so I just baked some chocolate cupcakes that came out tasting rather flat. I had planned on icing them with a simple vanilla buttercream, but I feel like I should do something a little more exciting to improve the taste. The cupcakes themselves are pretty mild, almost like a milk chocolate taste, though they are moist and the consistency of the cake is almost perfect—it's flavor they lack.

Any ideas for an exciting, perhaps even unexpected filling? I'm not interested in foam or anything involving 100 calorie packs, haha. These are for a party tomorrow afternoon. Your help would be greatly appreciated!
