If you have not check out our original 6 cupcake flavours from 1 batter, CHECK IT OUT HERE!
Brown sugar has a distinct flavour profile that works better with other flavour combinations, like carrot cake, chocolate chip cookie, graham cake etc
We used the same frosting base so now you get 11 swiss meringue buttercream (SMBC) flavours out of 1 base recipe.
There will be more flavour variation of the original ones coming soon if you guys enjoy them!
You can bake them as regular sized cupcakes which will yield 1 cupcake of each flavour, we do minis for "crowd-feeding" purposes!
