Buttermilk Cupcake Bites | Couponing and Cooking

Mmmm…. there is nothing quite like a traditional cupcake. What kid {and kid at heart} doesn’t love some confetti or sprinkles on their cupcake? I am loving that these are made with buttermilk. Sometimes I don’t want my cupcakes quite so sweet.

I can’t say that I have ever tried mint cupcakes. These sound fabulous, though. I have been on a real mint kick lately and drinking a lot of mint tea, so I think these will fit in nicely. 🙂

  • oh DROOL! Cupcakes are the perfect afternoon treat for me at work. The Oreo one looks so good!

  • Cherry cordial sounds nice- I'm always looking for delicious and messy recipe. Perfect cupcakes need not apply (because I'm not a perfect baker, haha)

  • Oh my goodness, my mouth is officially watering. I would like one of each, please... but the Mexican Chocolate Cupcakes with Dulce de Leche Cream Cheese Frosting is my favorite... Thanks for sharing.

  • I love cherry cordial. Those cherry cordial cupcakes look really tasty! Actually, they all look pretty good!
