Cherry Frosting

Summertime is filled with many birthdays at our house. I am always pondering ways to change up the flavors of the cake to avoid repetition. My little girl adores pink and I knew a Cherry Frosting would be absolutely perfect for her.

Cherry Frosting... the flavor is absolutely wonderful and is the perfect way to top a cupcake!

Let me tell you, this frosting is FANTASTIC and I love that it uses fresh cherries. These cupcakes disappeared almost as soon as they hit the table and the Cherry Frosting was everyone’s favorite part.

It was the perfect topping on the cupcakes and will definitely be a recipe I make over and over again!
