Notes

  • I love making these ahead of time—they keep beautifully in the fridge for up to 5 days!
  • These Black Forest Cupcakes also transport quite well so make them for a potluck, brunch event, or Birthdays! And since we’re all thinking of Valentine's Day now—how sweet and special would these be?!
  • Add in chocolate chips or nuts to your fruit cream filling for a more chocolaty cupcake. You can also go for a white chocolate ganache
