Rainbow isn't a flavour
Nutella is a brand name, might get you into trouble.
You should call the White choc and raspberry one 'cream pied whilst the decorators are in'.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 14:38, Reply)

Rainbow is the colour of it you pedant
I want to call it Super Awesome Rainbow Cake.

Nutella would be chocolate and hazelnut somethingorother.

I'm ignoring the last one.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 14:41, Reply)

"Here are the flavours" and then the first you list is a colour?
It's not even a colour, it's a pattern consisting of several colours. How's that for extra pedantry?
I don't know about clever names for cupcakes, just call one of them "Fatty Fatty Two-by-Four, can't fit through the kitchen door".

It's vanilla flavoured but rainbow coloured, I'm sorry for the confusion

And if you want to be really clever
Put one of each flavour of Skittle inside the cupcake.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 14:48, Reply)

The problem with that is that the colour dissolves off those things really quickly
so if I put it in the mix it would end up as a creepy white ball that looked a bit like ibuprofen.

Ah well.

I'm not sure hard crunchy bits in cupcakes are a winner either.

I found a recipe where you sprinkle poprocks on the frosting at the end
which amused me, but unfortunately they've only got a shelf life of about half an hour before the poprocks just dissolve into the frosting.

Only - and I need to be clear about this
- if your entire customer demographic is female and 7.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 14:44, Reply)

What's wrong with it?
Are you saying my cupcakes aren't luscious?

What would you call it?
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 14:48, Reply)

I'm almost certainly not in your key demographic
so it doesn't matter what I think.

But, if you want me to be serious, don't make it too overly "saccharin and cutesy" unless it's obviously self-deprecating. What matters is what they taste and look like.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 14:50, Reply)

I see your point
I wanted to go with Lemonentry My Dear Watson but it's probably only me that is amused by that.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 14:54, Reply)

Oh god, I'm getting drawn into serious posts, ONLINE.
Think about how you are selling them? cheesy joke names may get you first-time custom (but in this I still think you'll put off as many people as you attract) but my suspicion is people will tire of repeatedly having to say "Oh, I'll have 3 of the Lemonentry my dear Dr Watson and three of the Rainbow Worrier please"

Of course, this is less of a problem if you are selling exclusively online, but I think that's a dangerous market for a product sold on taste and real-world appearance
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 15:10, Reply)

I was kidding about the lemonentry thing
I wouldn't go for anything too silly because a lot of people probably wouldn't get it, or as you said, would find it annoying.

I was just going to go for simple ones like Apple Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake so people don't have to try and guess what's going to be in them.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 15:24, Reply)

You also need a "house special" one
that has a silly name. And maybe "-rific" in it

online dictionary says:
wit·ty (wt)
adj. wit·ti·er, wit·ti·est
1. Possessing or demonstrating wit in speech or writing; very clever and humorous.
2. Characterized by or having the nature of wit; funny or jocular: a witty saying.
3. Quick to discern and express amusing insights or relationships.
4. Entertainingly and strikingly clever or original in concept, design, or performance


how are any of these in any way accurate or relevant??
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 12 Oct 2010, 15:04, Reply)

Rainbow is categorically not a fucking flavour.
However. Otherwise.

Call the Apple one "Apple Pie" since effectively that's what apple and cinnamon is.
Coffee and Mint "After 8.45"
I'm sure you can think of an S&M theme for "vanilla"
And you definitely need to make a double chocolate one called "Two chocs one cupcake"

Well if it isn't a flavour then how can you taste the rainbow?
