Baking Variation Ideas

I love to bake. I have made a couple of things lately and as I make them, and watch baking shows, and make more things...I get ideas for flavor combinations. Here are some of the ideas I have (Most likely to be future blog posts): 

Cupcakes: 

Sweet Cornbread Cupcakes: Mixed with Honey and served with Butter Cream Frosting

Savory Cornbread Cupcakes: Served with Cream cheese Icing 

I have tried this out a bit from the extra cornbread cupcakes I made the other day but would like to further expand the cornbread as a sweet idea. 

Fudge: 

Butterscotch: Butterscotch chips, White chocolate, semi sweet chocolate chips. This came out swimmingly. 

White Chocolate Chai: Steeped with Chai Tea and made with 2/3 white chocolate chips and 1/3 dark or semi sweet chocolate. Attempt 1 was close but not right...yet. 

Mint: I have peppermint chips, which would be fun for Christmas but not sure about this one yet. 

I actually really loved from my childhood a mint fudge my dad made years ago, so the last idea is exciting to me. 

Victoria Sandwiches: 

Garden: Carrot Cake Cupcake, Cream Cheese Frosting, Apple Jam. I actually don’t often mess with carrot cake or cream cheese frosting so this should be a very interesting pallete. 

Chocolate: Chocolate Cupcake, Ganache Frosting, Strawberry Jam

I got a mostly good review on my Victoria Sandwiches so I am looking forward to expanding into new and beloved territory with flavors. 

Pumpkin: 

Bread: I had a hand me down recipe for bread, but I tell you that piece of purple paper has a mind of its own. I will find another and make it my go to. 

Pie: I typically get this recipe off the can, the way most great recipe legends start. 

Cupcakes: I saw a soup that played with Pumpkin and Syrup, like maple syrup. I would even add seasonal nuts in there too with some cream cheese frosting...and syrup shards melted in mix. (You could even play with a sweet versus savory pumpkin and bring in Bacon to this). 

I made this it’s own section because of the time of year...it is its own big deal. 

Which of these are you most excited to see pop up? What flavor combinations would you add to this list?
