Cherry Pie Cupcakes are the absolute best. Start with a fluffy white cupcake and add cherry pie filling and vanilla buttercream frosting. Oh My!
Cupcakes are my definite go-to if the grandkids are coming over or if I need something for a potluck. Whether I am doing a Holiday theme like Oreo Bat Halloween Cupcakes, or just a delicious dessert like The Best Raspberry Cream Cheese Filled Cupcakes or Apple Pie Cupcakes. You can't go wrong with cupcakes.
Absolutely, I try to use cake mixes as a shortcut when possible.
Sure use whatever flavor you prefer, the combinations are endless.
Yes, for sure. Buttercream is so yummy with the cherries but cream cheese frosting is also excellent.
Put them in an airtight container and store on the counter for 3-4 days.
