There’s a bake sake at work next week, and while I’m usually loathe to participate in any “team building” activities, I want to make cupcakes. 🙂 What sounds tastiest to you? 1. pumpkin chocolate chip with cinnamon icing drizzle 2. chocolate cupcakes with cookies n’ cream frosting 3. vanilla cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting I’ve made all three and all three are awesome, I just can’t decide which would have the widest appeal. ---

The order you have them in the OP is how I would rank them. That said, #2’s probably going to have the widest appeal. ---

No votes for the lowly vanilla cupcake? Did I mention it has SPRINKLES? ---

#3, absolutely, with #2 as my second choice. I’m not a fan of pumpkin, so that one’s not on my list at all. I like the classics, and I like white or yellow cake more than chocolate, but I like the chocolate frosting as an accent flavor. ---

White with chocolate frosting, no sprinkles. Chocolate buttercream frosted. ---

I would love either 2 or 3. Even 1 sounds great, but I don’t think it has as broad of an appeal. ---

I’m torn between numbers 2 and 3. Chocolate _cupcake_, or chocolate _frosting_? I’m afraid I’ll have to taste one of each before I can make my decision… ---

My first choice would be chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, but that’s not one of your options. That said, my sister has been raving about pumpkin this and pumpkin that lately, so I would be strongly tempted to give the pumpkin chocolate chip a shot. That is, if I didn’t first get distracted by someone else’s chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cupcake-poll/424939.md?page=2)
