These are the most amazing cupcakes. The recipe comes from a family friend, Barbara Ingram, who owns a wedding chapel, florist, and catering company in the town of Rogersville, Alabama and this is one of her most requested desserts. In fact, the cupcake pictured above was made by Barbara herself! She sent a batch to my mother and Mama sent a few my way and they were just too pretty not to photograph (that is why you don’t see the step by step photographs). When I called to see if Barbara would mind sharing the recipe with me (and y’all) she immediately said “Of course!”.
In addition to this wonderful recipe (which I hope you try soon because they really are amazing) I have teamed up with the folks at Formula 409 to bring you a complete Cinco De Mayo entertaining guide, complete with decorating and cleanup tips and MORE great recipes!
