Beer Cupcakes? Yes, Please.

January 8th, 2010

If beer ice cream wasn’t the thing for you, maybe combining beer with another wonderful dessert item will be right up your alley. Now you can get cupcakes made from your favorite beer from a bakery named (cacao).

Here’s one for the guys…

Chocolate (Newcastle) Ale: My classic chocolate cake recipe spiked with a rich ale (Newcastle) to make the menliest of men swoon. Topped with rich and creamy chocolate frosting (ask for a different flavor if you like).

Chocolate (Guinness) Stout: My classic chocolate cake recipe spiked with a rich Stout (Guinness to be exact) to make the menliest of men swoon. Topped with rich and creamy chocolate frosting (ask for a cream cheese as another great option!).

Orangey (Blue Moon): My classic white cake recipe spiked with Blue Moon Beer and a hint of fresh Orange juice to make the menliest of men swoon. Topped with rich and creamy hint-of-orange blue frosting (ask for a cream cheese as another great option!).

Serve them up for Sunday Dinners or Monday Night Football.

If you have a favorite beer you’d like in your cupcake, just ask! I’d be happy to perfect it for you!

This is really intriguing, and we might have to give this a try. It only costs $28.00 to get 12 cupcakes, shipping included. You can buy them here. Any thoughts on what beer would make the perfect cupcake? If we like your idea, we’ll try it, and you’ll get some kind of prize/reward. We’ll make it worth it; trust us. Leave your best suggestions in the comments. Good luck!

    I love making beer cupcakes. My latest one I did was a red velvet cake infused with Newcastle Werewolf Blood Red Ale topped with cream cheese frosting. I’ve also done banana Pranqster ale cupcakes with a maple butter cream. And dark chocolate Grimbergen cupcakes with a raspberry filling and chocolate grimbergen ganache. Too die for!!!

    Any of Kansas City’s boulevard beers would win my husband over. They have some great Smokestack series options, but the reg bottled beers are great as well. They have a seasonal Boulevard Chocolate Ale made with Christopher Elbow chocolates that might make for one tasty cupcake!
