#Dairyfree Cherry Cupcakes

The birthday weekend for Mia Rose is here.  We started the celebration today with cupcakes at the Girls Scout Meeting.  For a a special treat I did not make the usual Blueberry Cupcakes, and instead gave Cherry Cupcakes try.  From what I could tell, they were a huge success as every crumb of cupcake was gone :)
