If there’s one dessert we’re truly passionate about, it’s the cupcake. I mean, they are basically mini cakes of joy that you can carry with you while walking away from a seriously bad day (because they truly do have healing powers). Yes, a normal cake is great and all — but it’s a lot to handle. Plus, cupcakes are just so cute! And fortunately for all of us, they come in many different flavors and can feature many different decorations. The only problem with this is that there might be too many options to choose from. Yes, there is such a thing.
Now, when it comes time to bake this beautiful dessert and we can’t decide which mix-frosting combo to go with, we need an outside perspective to save the day. Fortunately, we have the stars looking out for us. We can ask ourselves: What type of cupcake would I be, based on my zodiac sign? Would I be dark and intense like devil’s food? Or would astrology grant me a treat that’s a bit more classic, like vanilla? Oh! Or would I be something a bit more ~fun~ like Funfetti? Again, the options are endless!
Before we lose our minds over what to bake, let’s take a look at what cupcake would be paired with each zodiac sign.
Margarita Cupcakes
Sign: Aquarius
You certainly wouldn’t be an ordinary cupcake like chocolate or vanilla, would you? Instead, you’d be an innovative flavor like margarita. Combining everyone’s favorite drink with everyone’s favorite dessert? Now that’s truly genius.
Chocolate Cupcakes with Rainbow Sprinkles
Sign: Pisces
We picked this classic flavor for you because everyone loves it — which is exactly how they feel about you, Pisces. However, we will admit that chocolate might be too plain for your taste, but that’s where the rainbow sprinkles come in. They add a bit of imagination to the mix.
To make your cupcake baking as easy as pie, this is the perfect product.
Peppermint Cupcakes
Sign: Aries
Peppermint packs a punch like your sign, Aries. It can be intense at times, but hey, that’s the name of the game. And if people can’t take the heat, then they should definitely stay out of your fiery kitchen. Now, decorate these with extra peppermint to capture your passion.
Funfetti Cupcakes
Sign: Taurus
If there’s one cupcake flavor out there that takes these mini cakes to the next level, it’s Funfetti. This type of cake is truly the most luxurious treat of them all, which is something a Taurus knows all too well. Just don’t forget the Funfetti frosting!
We highly recommend this as inspiration for all your cupcake dreams:
Red Velvet Cupcakes
Sign: Gemini
Red velvet combines both vanilla and chocolate, which reminds us of your two different personalities coming together to form one Gemini. Plus, people either love red velvet or they hate it, and this black-and-white mentality is something you deeply understand.
PB&J Cupcakes
Sign: Cancer
We imagine these cupcakes coated in peanuts for a bit of crunch to symbolize your hard outer shell. But on the inside, there’s delicious jelly that instantly comforts you and brings you back to your childhood. Eat these with a juice box on the side for the ultimate throwback.
Wedding Cake Cupcakes
Sign: Leo
Every day is your big day, Leo, which is why we think a wedding cake cupcake would suit you well. They are showstoppers that literally take the cake, just like you! Plus, if you brought these to a party with some extravagant decorations, people would be like, “Makes sense.”
For seriously easy cupcake batter mixture, we highly recommend this spoonula.
Vanilla Cupcakes
Sign: Virgo
A classic cupcake for a classic sign that values the more practical things in life. If you were to be put in front of a case of baked goods, you’d go with what you know — a simple vanilla cupcake that isn’t likely to disappoint. And yes, every time tastes like the first time.
Raspberry Cheesecake Cupcakes
Sign: Libra
When conjuring up a cupcake that’s as romantic as you are, Libra, we couldn’t help but think of something pink like raspberry cheesecake. This dessert is literally the best of both worlds, so there’s no way you’d be able to turn it down.
Devil’s Food Cupcakes
Sign: Scorpio
Devil’s food cake is a dark, dense, intense chocolate cake that reminds us of a certain zodiac sign out there, one who can be quite intense themselves. Fortunately, Scorpios are also stubborn in their passionate ways, so if they’re going to make something chocolate, it’s going to be really chocolate.
Hummingbird Cupcakes
Sign: Sagittarius
If there’s one cupcake out there that’s going to take your tastebuds on a trip, it’s the hummingbird variety, which is a banana-pineapple spice cake. People in the Southern U.S. love this dessert and for good reason — it stands out like a Sagittarius who aims to experience everything the world has to offer.
Cupcake decorating has never been more fun, thanks to this beauty.
Carrot Cake Cupcakes
Sign: Capricorn
Since you’re a sign that values tradition and self-control, we couldn’t exactly picture you going for a cupcake that’s decked out and covered in sugar. Instead, we imagine you going for a classic carrot cake cupcake that won’t make you feel super guilty after you devour it.
