this looks sooo good. I like the NM’s flavorings, very good quality.
This recipe definitely caught my eye with the words White Chocolate. I love white chocolate and these cupcakes sound delicious. These would be great for a Thanksgiving treat. I think that’s too long to wait to make them. Maybe an after school snack would be better.
I love the flavor of almond in dessert and your cupcakes look delicious! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Those flavorings you have are wonderful. The real stuff makes a big difference in the flavor. Thanks for the great recipe. Rita Spratlen rjspratlen@gmail.com

I make a raspberry filled cupcakes, but never thought about White chocolate filling. Oh that sounds delicious! I also have not heard of that brand of flavorings! I wonder if my stores carry them, I will have to look next time.
