8. Fluffy Thoughts
Missed out on Girl Scout cookies this year? Try the samoa cupcake, a rough approximation of the chocolate-caramel-coconut Scout favorite. Fluffy Thoughts fills a vanilla cake with caramel and tops it with coconut buttercream, coconut shavings and a drizzle of chocolate ganache. A cupcake filled with dulche de leche and topped with similarly flavored buttercream and an alfajor (caramel-flavored) cookie on top summons memories of Argentina. There’s a cupcake flavor of the day and of the month.
