Kyle's Cupcakes

Kyle's Cupcakes was

on the bake again this week.

Our Stashbuster's class was meeting at the store

so I needed to get my baking supplies out again.

I always search for cupcakes that are different and interesting.

I remember as a kid going "uptown" to the

Cloverdale Dairy that had a soda fountain

and having a "real cherry coke".   That meant

real coke syrup, real cherry syrup and whatever

it took to make it fuzzy.

That was the best.

So in remembrance of days gone by

I found a Chocolate Cherry Cola Cupcake recipe.

I decided to do a taste test to see what "Coke" I should use

in order to get the most taste.

I tried cokes in the bottles.

#1 was Coke with the fructose corn syrup

#2 Mexican Coke with real sugar

#3 Virgil's Real Cola with unbleached cane sugar and spices

Which did I use?

Well, as a diet soda drinker, anything with sugar in it was a "high".

I really liked the Mexican Coke and 

Virgil's Real Cola.

So I used both! 

After all the Coke testing, the cupcakes

were wonderful, and moist but there really

wasn't a cola taste. 

The maraschino cherry in the middle of the cake might

have masked the cola flavor.

But who is going to not eat a cupcake for that reason.

So add the whip cream and a put a cherry on the top

and ENJOY!

Have a wonderful weekend.

Until Next Time-
