Shirley Temple Cupcakes

Hi everyone! It’s Sara from Bitz & Giggles! This is such an exciting day for me because it’s my first post as an official member of the Smart School House Team of Contributors. Today we’re taking a journey back to our childhood. When was the first time you tasted a Shirley Temple (A.K.A. Kiddie Cocktail like we call them in Wisconsin)?

I honestly can’t remember the first time I tasted one, but I do remember how special they were to me. They were special because I only really was allowed to drink them when something “special” was taking place – Christmas, family weddings, going out to eat, etc.
Today I’m sharing these tasty and super fun Shirley Temple Cupcakes made with Cherry Chip cake mix spiked with lemon-lime soda, filled with a marshmallowy fluff, topped with vanilla butter cream frosting and garnished with a cherry. Whew! Talk about CRAZY good – your kids will love them!
