- Add the sugars and continue to beat until fully combined. Beat in the eggs, one at a time. Lastly, add the honey and vanilla, blend until smooth.
- Alternate adding the buttermilk, flour mixture and seltzer water until all ingredients are just combined. Do not over mix! Over mixing can make the cupcakes tough.

Cup of Yum
Make the Frosting:
- In a medium mixing bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese and butter. Add the powdered sugar, extract and seltzer. Blend until creamy and appropriate frosting consistency. If frosting is too thick, add small amounts of peach soda until spreadable.
- Place into a piping bag fitted with a large round or star attachment, frost cupcakes and top with a peach ring.
