I bet you've never seen a cupcake with this flavor before!
Can you guess?
If I knew how to do a jump cut I'd make you truly guess, but I'm not that HTML savvy.
It's a...chocolate BBQ cupcake with honey sour cream frosting! I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that would be a tough one to guess. You can get the recipe for it at food blog a perfect kind of day, where there are also lots of other cupcake posts.
From the post:
The cake is tangy and savory and not at all sweet. However, it seems that the longer the life of the cupcake, the lesser the barbecue sauce taste. The cupcake I tried fresh out of the oven tasted like a fresh slab of ribs {and i'm not kidding...}, but the cupcake I had later on that night {willpower doesn't exist on labor day} just tasted like a bittersweet chocolate cake.
The frosting is very tart and sweet at the same time. I wanted to make something that worked with the savory flavor of the barbecue sauce, not something that out-sweetened it. I did like the frosting with the cake, but in an effort to showcase the flavor of the cake a bit more next time, I might stick with a more basic chocolate frosting...
Yay for truly original cupcake flavors and experiments!

Gorgeous stroopwafel love heart caramel apple spice cupcakes anyone would love
The always outrageous, stunning and memorable blogger The Lone Baker has done it again with this stroopwafel love heart caramel apple spice cupcake! I'm in awe. Find out how to decorate your own at The Lone Baker and stay up to date at their Facebook page. They're especially touching because they were made in honor of her mom, who passed away seven years ago and loved caramel. Let's give this cupcake a virtual round of applause! Via Flickr.

Chicken and waffle cupcakes with maple syrup frosting and recipe link!
Yes, this really is a chicken and waffle cupcake with maple syrup frosting, and you can get the recipe from Formal Fringe. Wow! From the post:
So here you have it. A waffle-inspired yellow buttermilk cupcake topped with maple syrup buttercream frosting and a mini helping of chicken and waffles.
And just in case that whole deal doesn’t sound amazing enough, let me tell you what else is special about these guys: Each cupcake is infused with a shot of straight-up maple syrup right in the center.

Pepperoni pizza, sausage gravy, ham and spinach, spicy macaroni and more savory cupcakes from Portland's Savor Cakes
I love when bakeries use social media and I love innovative cupcakes, and those two things are combined in what's happening with Portland, Oregon company Savor Cakes. They have a Kickstarter fundraising campaign going through August 11th. From their Kickstarter page, where you can donate ($10 gets you a free savor cake, and there are many other rewards):
Savor cakes look like a cupcake and are portable like a cupcake but are savory instead of sweet! Now you can have the best of both worlds!
A savory star is born! - Savor cakes were born from a personal need to enjoy all the delicious meals I enjoyed growing up (you know the ones that give you the warm fuzzies when you think about them) whenever I want and wherever I am. Savor cakes are awesome comfort foods like chicken soup, pulled pork, bacon and eggs and even meatloaf baked into little portable packages. Instead of cake, we use biscuit, croissant and even pizza dough. We use fresh and local ingredients that taste good and make you feel good.
As of this posting, they still have to raise $6,684. The way Kickstarter works is that those who donate won't be charged unless the campaign reaches its goal (in this case, $12,000), by the given date.
You can also keep up with them on Facebook, @SavorCakesCart on Twitter and on Tumblr.
pepperoni pizza cupcakes
Sausage gravy in a biscuit
Ham and spinach quiche croissant
Spicy baked macaroni in a croissant
Chicken soup biscuit
pigs in a blanket with cheese sauce
A $100 donation gets you various rewards, including an autographed copy of this artwork below by Savor Cakes' owner Elizabeth Marek:

Tori Spelling calls cupcakes "the perfect food" and endorses eating cupcake sandwiches
I'm a big Tori Spelling fan, so I love that she's so into cupcakes! In this post, "Have Your Cupcake and Eat It Too," at her lifestyle site ediTORIal, she extols the joys of cupcake sandwiches and cake posts and writes:
Cupcakes are God’s gift to kids (and kids at heart). I mean they really are the perfect food, no matter how big your appetite may be. Want a bite-sized treat? Easy! Need a fix that’s bigger than your face? Just put Sprinkles on speed dial.
But there’s a dirty little secret about cupcakes. We’ve all been guilty - yes, me too. It’s the cupcake bottom. I’m admitting it now; I always, always waste the cupcake bottom. It’s just so boring! And my kids are the same way. They peel the top off the cupcake and eat it, because (duh) that’s the part with the frosting. Then they leave the sad little cupcake bottom alone on the picnic table, only to grow stale before meeting its fate in the trashcan.
Ok, maybe cupcakes don’t have feelings, but you know what I mean – waste is bad! So how do we get our kids (and inner kid) to eat the whole cupcake?
Here's what she's come up with:

Cheesecake on top of a cupcake, marshmallow heart and more by Clyde's Cupcakes
These cupcakes are all by Clyde's Cupcakes in Exeter, New Hampshire, via their Facebook page. I'm not personally a huge cheesecake fan but I admire the ingenuity that comes with putting a mini slice of cheesecake (and chocolate!) on top of a cupcake. Find out more at clydescupcakes.com.
This is actually a s'mores cupcake with (I think) licorice on top!

Meatloaf, chicken/waffle/bacon, vegetable and macaroni and cheese cupcakes were on the menu at Harvest Bistro at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek!
These savory cupcakes were actually on the menu at Cupcake Lovers Weekend July 9 (I didn't see it in time or I'd have posted it) at Harvest Bistro at Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek last weekend! Wow wow wow...if they do it again I totally want to go. Descriptions via Bonnet Creek Blog.
This fun creation (above) is made of ground beef and pork, topped with a cream potato frosting, English peas and a roasted tomato BBQ sauce.
This is a vanilla waffle “cupcake” base, topped with a creamy maple bacon frosting and popcorn fried chicken.
This amazing treat is made from roasted asparagus, mushrooms, tomato and spinach, all baked in an egg custard and topped with tomato cream.
This take on traditional mac and cheese starts with macaroni baked in a velvety creamy cheese sauce and piped with a mascarpone cheese and chive frosting.
