Black forest cupcakes - one of the festive cupcakes I have ever had. Cupcakes with beautiful bread crumb, filled with cherry syrup, frosted with not so traditional cream cheese frosting and finally topped with delicious ruby red British cherries.
I can definitely say that these are the yummiest cupcake I have everrr..tasted. The secret behind the delicacy is the most delicious cherries. I would not have realised the importance of cherries in this recipe till I tasted country grown British cherries. Fortunately I have got an opportunity to work with Berry gardens recently. They sent lots of punnets of authentic British cherries to me. They were so delicious that one can't stop at one. Me and my son could not resist ourselves from eating a few punnets right there.
First let me tell you some info about berry gardens.
British cherries have been grown across the UK for over 2,000 years and are celebrated for their exceptional quality and versatility. 'Go Cherry' growers produce British cherries in orchards across the length and breadth of the UK and have generations of expertise in producing the perfect cherry every time.
Go Cherry growers are mostly family businesses and combine years of knowledge with a deep-rooted passion for superior quality and taste. By choosing cherries grown within the UK, one will be sure to notice the difference in freshness and the super sweet flavour from these wonderful local- heritage fruits. If you want to know more about them, please visit: http://www.berrygardens.co.uk/british-cherries/
If you find hard to them in market, these delicious cherries come into season from June, British Cherries are available in all UK supermarkets.
One most important point I forgot to mention is the health benefit of these British Cherries. These Cherries hold an abundance of health benefits as they are high in melatonin, which is an integral hormone for promoting healthy sleep patterns and contain a rich natural source of anthocyanins; powerful antioxidants which give the fruit its ruby red colour.
