The 7-Layer

JUMBO-SIZED

This titan was inspired by the classic seven layer bar. I have never seen this bar made into a cupcake before, and conjuring up the structure of this layered cupcake was sure a lot fun. The great thing about this recipe is that it's very free form, you may change and substitute layers with other ingredients. Allow me to give you a full breakdown of the layers without sending your mind into another dimension.

Layers: (bottom to top)

1. Graham cracker crust
2. Walnuts
3. White and dark chocolate chips
4. Homemade chocolate fudge spread
5. Toasted coconut
6. Homemade Meringue (mixed with a touch of Grand Marnier)
7. Mini Oreo cookie garnish

This cupcake really showcases how authentic Japanese flavors and textures nicely blend together. I mixed real Japanese ground up matcha (green tea) powder with a sweet half-mashed azuki (red bean). Red azuki beans are made in many traditional Japanese delicacies. The cupcake garnish houses another Japanese delicacy, the Yōkan, which comes as a small block of jelly that can be flavored with azuki paste, matcha, and many other mixes of sweet ingredients. Finally, the moist chocolate cake compliments all those Japanese flavors into one big, sweet Japanese confectionary explosion!

Vanilla Chocolate Chip & Vanilla ( w/ coffee liquer) Buttercream Frosting

Your basic vanilla cupcake topped with a classic vanilla buttercream frosting with a hint of Kahula (optional). Make it a deluxe with choco-almond pocky sticks for garnish!
The great thing about this basic cupcake is that it can be customized in many ways. You can request what color frosting you would like matched with toppings ( sprinkles, oreo crumbs, chocolate drizzles, etc...) and mix/match with classic vanilla, chocolate, chocolate chip, etc... cake mixes. Just use your imagination:)
