There’s nothing better than a rich, chocolate-heavy sweet morsel to induce happiness and warmth in the cooler season. Delve into the fudge-heavy bliss of the Chocolate Fudge cupcake or Peanut Butter Fudge cupcake at MySweetopia at South Bank. Fudge ganache sits upon a base of chocolate mudcake or peanut butter, while an additional fudge filling surprises on first bite.

Poppy Cakes

With blood orange season fast approaching, the team at Poppy Cakes at Emporium in Fortitude Valley is back to creating its Blood Orange and Poppy Seed cupcake. The juice and zest from these delicious fruits is mixed through the cupcake base, with zest also sprinkled through the icing. Or if the rich aroma of coffee captured in a sweet shell is what gets your tastebuds tingling, try the Caramel Latte cupcake. The perfect treat to curb three-thirty-itis, the coffee base is topped with sweet caramel icing.
