Happy Tuesday! I’ve got a quick post for y’all today. And sorry in advance for linking to another recipe. But I think you guys will like this one. 🙂
A couple of weeks ago, I was in the grocery store looking at some strawberries, and I looked up and saw the most gorgeous cherries. I’ve never made anything with cherries before, which is kind of weird now that I think about, but they were too pretty to pass up.

I immediately thought about making black forest cupcakes. But of course they couldn’t be regular cupcakes. And making bourbon black forest something had been on my mind for a while.
So bourbon cherry filling happened. I actually made it with maraschino cherries specifically for the color, but you can pit your own cherries and make it that way if you want!

Swirled frosting is like my new favorite thing. I just love it. I want to put it on everything! Frosting for daaayyys.
There are four components to these cupcakes: chocolate cake, bourbon cherry filling, vanilla frosting, and cherry frosting. It might seem like a lot, but it’s all easy to make. And you can leave out the filling or only go with one frosting. Totally up to you! Buuut you should make all of it. 😉
Wow those look amazing! Great pictures, I can almost reach through the screen and grab one! 🙂
Beth, these are AMAZING!!! I wish you could send me a dozen of them! Gorgeous pictures, pinned! 🙂
Bourbon cherry filling?? My goodness that sounds amazing! These look fantastic Beth!
I’m not the biggest cherry fan but these pictures look so great that I’m adding this to my recipes to try! These look great!
What stunning photos and beautiful cupcakes Beth! They seriously look perfect! …almost too pretty to eat… almost 🙂
Black forest cake is one of my favourite cakes so I bet I would love this one! It’s awesome when you go into the grocery store and find something random and make something amazing out of it.
Oh yum!
Beautiful cupcakes, Beth! Awesome photos as well. I’m sure they taste as good as they look!
Oh man Beth can you teach me how to do that double colored frosting?!? It’s the prettiest ever and I have absolutely no clue how to do it properly lol. Also bourbon in cupcakes is amazing. 😀
Girl, I have never before seen such pretty looking cupcakes!!
Bourbon + cherries has never occurred to me but I absolutely LOVE it! It sounds wonderful, especially with chocolate. And your frosting swirls are just so beautiful! Pinning these beauties for sure 😉
These cupcakes are gorgeous!! I never liked black forest until I made it at home and finally got to appreciate the cherry flavour. I’m sure I’d love these too!
These cupcakes look AMAZING!!!
