Unique Gift Basket Ideas for Women
Many people are bored of classic cupcake flavors. Everybody wants to experiment, innovate and come up with new flavors. But you can
tweak classic flavors to make them favorites all over again.Here’s a list of five alternate flavors that you can try and add to your
gourmet food basket.
Lavender cupcakesThis pleasant smelling delicate
flower can be used in the kitchen to make lush cupcakes. In your regular vanilla cupcake
batter, add a few sprigs of lavender blossoms and bake as you would normally. A classic
butter cream frosting with a few drops of lavender oil goes best with this cupcake. For a dainty
touch add a bud of lavender atop the frosting. A perfect treat
for an evening soiree or when putting together gift baskets for
women.
Orange and coconut cupcakes
Go tropical without visiting the tropics with this colorful treat.
Add the zest of three oranges to a batch of vanilla cupcake batter.
Make a frosting using icing sugar and orange juice. After
lavishly frosting your cupcakes add a generous helping of fresh
or desiccated coconut. If you want that extra pop of color, add
a little orange food coloring to your cupcake batter!
Margarita CupcakesAdd a shot or two of tequila in
your vanilla cupcake batter. Also generously squeeze two limes in
the batter for that extra zing. Make sure to catch the pips though. Pair these cupcakes
with a cream cheese frosting to which you have added the zest
of one lime. After frosting, sprinkle a little sea salt and
garnish with a wedge of lime. It will make for a naughty summer
afternoon treat. You can assemble them in a dainty gourmet gift basket for a
naughty bachelorette party.
Butter nut squash cupcakesReplace the pumpkins in your
pumpkin cake batter with butternut squash puree. Bake
the butternut in the oven with a sprinkling of nutmeg and
cinnamon powder on it. Make a puree out of it and add it to your
cupcake batter. Instead of a sugar frosting, drench these
delights in sugar syrup to which you have added a pinch of
saffron.
Chilly and caramel cupcakes
Use a basic chocolate cupcake recipe to bake the cupcakes, but instead of adding sugar, use caramel. Add the
caramel just before you start putting your batter in the molds to bake. For
the frosting make a rich chocolate ganache to which you have added
toffee of chilies. Make the chilly toffee using finely chopped red chilies and add it to a caramel syrup. Transfer
the mixture on a baking sheet and let it cool. Break the pieces and add
them to the chocolate ganache and frost the cupcakes. Pack them up in a
gourmet gift basket and take it to share with your friends on a movie
night.
