Oktoberfest is a massive festival in Munich, but is also celebrated by German Americans living in the Americas, and so is another great chance to put your cupcake making skills to the test. Oktoberfest celebrates the Unification of Germany and thus is celebrated in style across the world, not just in Germany. Since it's such a large event, full of fun and laughter and enjoyment, it's the perfect time to bring out the fun, creative side of your baking and let your true colors really show through.
The colors of Oktoberfest are blue and white, so bear this in mind when you're baking your cupcakes as that may be something to make use of. You could make beer cupcakes, since Germany are quite well known for their breweries and drinking habits, so keep that in mind too. There's a number of great recipes out there that will suit Oktoberfest cupcakes just fine, and will also go down a treat with your guests. Holding a party for Oktoberfest is a must, so while you're looking for party supplies, check out the colors and themes and images and motifs you're using to try and get ideas for your cupcakes.
However, if you're stuck for ideas for your Oktoberfest cupcakes, here's a recipe for ginger and vanilla cupcakes decorated in blue and white that will work wonders for you and your culinary skills! This recipe makes 16 cupcakes in total.
In a saucepan, combine the following
3.5oz Molasses (or treacle)
4.4oz Butter
3.5oz Muscovado sugar

Then add the following and mix well with whisk
2.6oz Milk
2.6oz Buttermilk
1 egg, beaten
In a separate large bowl - add the following ingredients
2.6oz Millet Flour
2.6oz Quinoa Flour
1.7oz Teff Flour
0.8oz Corn Starch
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
A pinch of salt
2 teaspoons ground ginger
Sift the above dry ingredients several times.
