Close your eyes and think of your favorite Mexican food. OK, now think of it in cupcake form. If you don't know what that would look, or taste like, Viva Los Cupcakes is a cupcakery that can provide that visual as they've taken several favorites from the Mexican food world and cupcaked them.

In 2010 Karina Jimenez, owner of Viva Los Cupcakes, looked at the cupcake world around her and said she wanted to create something that would make her stand out.

"I needed to create something different," Jimenez said. "I asked myself, 'What do I know? What do I have experience in? I know -- Mexican food!'"

Realizing the cupcake world was void of Mexican flavors and tradition, she went nuts in the kitchen and created cupcakes with the familiar flavors she grew up with, such as horchata, cajeta and even tamales.

The L.A.-based catering company has a ton of unique flavors with a little taste of Mexico. Check some of them out below, and peep their site for more award-winning cupcakes:
