Hi, these sound amazing and I’m going to be having a go at them shortly as I want to get some practice in for Xmas when I intend to make cupcakes to take to the many drinks/parties my friends are having. Does anyone have any recipe/flavour combinations for a truely festive style cupcake?? when i google this most are just vanilla cupcakes with xmas decorations on top which is not what I’m after. If anyone can help I’d be delighted!!! x

Okay those look amazing. I’m excited to experiment with that frosting. I recently tried a zucchini cupcake with a caramel frosting. It was a huge hit with my kids. I guess that is one way to get them to eat zucchini. The cupcake had orange juice and almond extract in it which really gave it a great flavor.

Oh this is hilarious that we both posted cherry-chocolate things on the same day! And Kate is right; I had something completely different planned and did my ice cream at the last minute. How funny. The cupcakes look diVINE. I’m totally intrigued by that frosting. I’m a total frosting girl {like you!} so I love a good frosting. I’ve never seen one like this so I can’t wait to try it. I just might have to sneak these in over the weekend!

Yum! Yum! My vote is for the lemon cupcakes, but all the rest are close in the running. Wish we were closer to help with the taste tests. . . . . .

@Cat:

I dipped the cherries the day we ate the cupcakes and will do the same for the wedding reception. You would need to store the whole cake/cherries and all in the frig because of the sour cream/whipped cream frosting.

@Cat:

I actually whipped one cup of cream and used it so it ended up being more than one cup after it was whipped. Not sure if that was right or not but that’s how I made it.

@Michelle Wilkes:

Will definitely let you know how the buttercream turns out and I found the cherries at my neighbor’s house!! Need to go to our stores to find more for the wedding reception!

Also – sorry – should have asked you in my previous e-mail – how do you store the cherries (in fridge or on the counter?)

Hello! I read that right, not one cup of whipping cream but one cup of whipped cream – correct? I am guessing that this is not freezable if I ice the cupcakes?

Oh, I’m so proud that a recipe I sent you made the cut!! Let me know how it works with the cherry-flavored butter cream frosting! (And where did you find maraschino cherries with the stems still on them? Cause I might have you get me some!)
