How To Make True Cherry Cupcakes
Grab a box of your favorite white cake mix from the store and follow the directions on that back for cupcakes. Once baked, set to the side and let cool.
Get started on your True Cherry Buttercream by creaming your butter in a bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed until fluffy. Beat in your confectioners’ sugar gradually until light and fluffy.
Next, beat in your heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until frosting reaches spreading or piping consistency. Mix in True Cherry Preserves and vanilla extract. Place the frosting into a piping bag and frost your cupcakes how you desire.
