True Cherry Cupcakes Make For A Sweet Spring Celebration

Celebrate spring with these easy Easter cupcakes. White cupcakes topped with a True Cherry Buttercream, these are treats no-bunny will be able to resist.

We don’t feel alone in saying that Spring is one of the best times of the year. Fresh cherry blossoms budding from cherry trees, the smell of spring in the air, and the warmer temperatures that beg you to stay outside a little longer. It makes us happy just thinking about it.

It also makes us happy thinking about these True Cherry Cupcakes. If you want a cupcake that people will go crazy for, all you need is some True Cherry Preserves and white cake mix. They also look so pretty on your Easter Brunch table.

What You Need To Make These Cupcakes

These cupcakes are simple and delicious! Below are the ingredients you will need to make these cupcakes.

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.

We put together a blog on how to set our Easter Table. You will find tips and recommendations as well as other cherry recipes perfect for spring and Easter!
