Papaya Cupcakes with Almond Frosting

At the moment I am in the "Testing phase" for different tastes for Cupcakes. So I tried the combination between almond flavour in the Frosting and a little bit of fruit in the muffin. Preparing this cupcake one must be aware not to add to much bitter almond aroma in the Frosting because it can quickly get too much..... So I am already thinking about further variations... For example I will experiment by adding some fruit to the Frosting and not only to the muffin.... Lets see when I will be in the Mood to do further cupcakes..... Meanwhile I was quite satisfied with those Papaya Cupcakes with Almond Frosting.
