Peach Cupcakes

Carrying on this weeks theme of fruit, this morning i am reviewing a recipe for peach cupcakes by taste of beirut. I love the fact that the cupcakes are presented differentley to others on the web, mainley because they have no flavoured buttercream frosting on top…. and going by the presentation in this picture there really is no need for it.

Now usually i would not consider trying to bake with peaches as there not exactly a favorate fruit of mine, however this week for me is about being open minded and trying new recipes.

My Verdict:

I did really enjoy both baking and eating these peach cupcakes, they wasnt too sweet and they certainley looked impressive. I am glad there was no frosting on top as they really didnt need it , plus i think it would have taken the taste and focus off the fresh peaches.

I hope you enjoying trying this recipe as much as me.
