Sweet juicy peaches baked in delicious cupcake and topped with a mouthwatering peach buttercream icing. [ad] #purelysimple @TargetLiving on a farm, I have the pleasure of enjoying a bountiful variety of the farm fresh fruits and vegetables that we grow. Most I like, some I don’t, but nothing ranks right up there with our delicious Jersey Fresh Peaches. I hold them in high esteem. In fact, summer does not officially begin for me until I take my first juicy bite out of one. Yes, peaches are my weakness. The more juicy, the better – the kind of peach that when you bite into it, the juice runs all the way down your arm. Yum!

[ad] #purelysimple @TargetI also have a weakness for anything baked with peaches too – cobbler, pie, muffins and these delicious Peaches & Cream Cupcakes. Peaches & Cream Cupcakes are made with fresh peaches baked in delicious cupcake and topped with a mouthwatering peach buttercream icing.

Pillsbury Purely SimpleThese beautiful creations are not only loaded with a lot of peaches from our farm but made with Pillsbury Purely Simple White Cake & Cupcake Mix and Pillsbury Purely Simple Buttercream Frosting Mix.

Peaches & Cream Cupcakes - Step 1Sweet and juicy peaches take center stage for these cupcakes. I added them to both the cupcakes and frosting so there is plenty of peach flavor. Don’t you just want to lick the bowl?

Peaches & Cream Cupcakes - Step 2Once the batter was finished, I used an ice cream scoop to portion it out in the muffin tins. Using an ice cream scoop is a great kitchen hack because each cupcake is perfectly sized. Do you see all those delicious chunks of peaches in there. Sweet!

Peaches & Cream Cupcakes - Step 4For the buttercream icing, I added pureed peaches instead of water which gave the icing a delicious peach flavor. I allowed the cupcakes to cool completely before I iced them. I used a baking tip to pipe the icing on the cupcakes. If you don’t have one, it’s alright, just use a spatula. Again, can you see all the specks of peach deliciousness?

  1. Oh those peach cupcakes look amazing! I love peach anything – great idea to puree the peaches and use that for all your milk/water in the frosting. Yum! #client
