I originally created these pickle cupcakes when I was pregnant with Myles. Yes, that’s me below!


They ended up being loved by pregnant women everywhere and they were featured in People magazine and on our local FOX affiiate!

What Do Pickle Cupcakes Taste Like?

The cupcakes themselves tasted like a pickle in cake form. The prominent flavor was definitely dill and they were somewhat eggy like a dill quiche – not very sweet. If you like dill and you like pickles or you have a pregnant woman in your life who has a good sense of humor, you might consider making these cupcakes.

Notes

The Ice Cream
I topped the cupcake with vanilla ice cream. Can anyone think of a flavor that would go better with pickle? The topic had never come up for me before and I figured vanilla would be a safe bet.
