When someone says "cupcake," I'm transported back in time to elementary school fundraisers where cupcakes were sold in shoeboxes and given away as prizes in cakewalks .
These cupcakes are what I am known for. It is a combination of my wonderful Grandmothers italian icing recipe (she uses the icing recipe on all cakes that she would make for us) and my love for tiramisu, and cupcakes! The icing recipe is also great with a lemon cake and fresh blackberries.
If you are trying to impress - you can't go past this Black Forest Cupcake Recipe. Don't be put off by having to process the cherries, it is worth the effort.
Black forest cupcakes are just like black forest cake, but in cupcake form.
