If you’re trying to sell the most, #2. If you want to make fewer people happier (novelty factor is key in bake sales), #1. ---

[QUOTE=Kat] My first choice would be chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting and sprinkles, but that’s not one of your options. [/QUOTE] The chocolate buttercream frosting is _really_ chocolately. I’m worried that it would be too rich if I used it on a chocolate cupcake. [QUOTE=Suburban Plankton] I’m afraid I’ll have to taste one of each before I can make my decision… [/QUOTE] Cake’s in the mail! 😉 ---

THE CAKE IS A LIE Chocolate with cookies 'n cream please ---

Number 2 please. Oh heck, give me a couple! ---

I’d get one of each, but agree that #2 sounds damn irresistible. ---

#1 fits in nicely with the holiday season. I’d take #2 because I have such a thing for vanilla icing. You leave cake with vanilla icing alone and with me and it ends up naked! ---

Now I’m drooling. ☹ Better stop off at the Buttercup bakery tonight. ---

[QUOTE=Aesiron] That said, #2’s probably going to have the widest appeal. [/QUOTE] That’s what Dominos thought when they made their new dessert pizza. ---

[QUOTE=SaintCad] That’s what Dominos thought when they made their new dessert pizza. [/QUOTE] Ugh, doesn’t that look horrid? The commercial with the guy that has the oreo mustache makes me queasy. Looks like vanilla with chocolate frosting and chocolate with cookies & cream are a tie. Guess I’ll flip a coin. 🙂 Thanks for the input, everyone! I’ll post pics if they turn out pretty enough! ---

And recipes! Will you post recipes of all three, regardless of how the chosen batch turns out? Pretty please? ---

Weeelll…They’re all from a cookbook, what’s the rule on posting copywrited material? I’ll pm them to you if you want! The book is Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, and I can’t recommend it enough. Besides the three that I’m mulling over for the bake sale, I’ve made apple cider cupcakes and german chocolate frosting and so far there’s not a dud in the bunch! If you’re looking for something to kick off holiday baking… 🙂 ---

Wait, these are vegan cupcakes? Are you sure they’re going to be okay? ---

Going to be okay? As in taste okay? I’ve made all three recipes before, they’re all excellent. ---

Yeah, PM me! I’ve never made vegan cupcakes, but they sound good and I’m willing to give them a try. It’ll be like a science experiment. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=Nikki Tikki Tavi] Going to be okay? As in taste okay? I’ve made all three recipes before, they’re all excellent. [/QUOTE] I’m just wary. I had a friend in college who was a vegan. Nothing she ever gave me was all that nice… ---

I’d vote for pumpkin without chocolate chips as my number 1. If chocolate chips are necessary, then number 3. ---
