Cherry it up! We do not add cherry favoring to this cupcake, but it’s easy to do so. One idea is to bake a cherry inside the cupcake before baking. Make sure to remove the stem. You can also substitute your vegetable oil for cherry pie filling when baking your chocolate cupcakes.
Ingredients and Supplies:
- Chocolate cupcake mix (calls for butter, vegetable oil, eggs and water)
- Chocolate frosting
- White cupcake liners
- Red and white cupcake holders
- Rainbow sprinkles
- Mixing bowl
