Cherry Almond Cupcakes were another flavor that I took to our Corvette Club picnic this weekend
This was my favorite flavor! I love anything Cherry or Lemon flavored. The cherry syrup that I used in the icing made it a pretty pink color. I think just looking at these cupcakes screams summer and fun!
