Prepare to linger for several agonizing minutes here, as there are almost too many options to choose from. In addition to the standard vanilla/chocolate combos, there are vanilla and chocolate versions of cookies ‘n’ cream, plus other flavors such as pina colada, strawberry shortcake, toffee crunch, and blueberry with a cream-cheese frosting. For the truly adventurous, try the taro-flavored cupcake. Made from the taro plant, a root vegetable, it has a nutty vanilla flavor and features a purple, sweet buttercream frosting.
