I have been dying to make these cupcakes which were inspired by Cherry Vanilla Ice cream from Cabots in Newton, so while my brother sat on the couch and annoyed me I whipped up these heavenly treats!
I started with a basic Vanilla Cupcake.
As soon as they came out of the oven I brushed them with cherry juice. Talk about super moist AND it helps to infuse the cherry flavor with the vanilla cupcake!
While these babies were cooling I whipped up some pillowy soft frosting.
I made a basic Buttercream and instead of using milk or water as the liquid I used cherry juice again.
I wanted the frosting to be very light and airy so I whipped this frosting more then I would for a normal buttercream... the result was exactly what I was looking for!
I piped on the frosting using my wilton 1M tip and topped each cupcake with a cherry!
Don't these look like a little piece of heaven?!?!
Enjoy!!!
