Cherry Cupcakes
This cherry cupcakes recipe is fruitful and delicious. The perfect cupcake for any summer gathering. It is also great for a pretty in pink party. The fresh fruit tint the batter to make pink cupcakes. I prefer the fresh fruit, however, you can change the recipe up a bit by using maraschino cherries. You can also flavor the icing and tint it pink with juice from the maraschino's too.
There are many flavor variations to try from this recipe. You can add mini chocolate chips, or even mix the berries with half strawberries.
