Recipe Tip

Makes about 35 cupcakes. May be served plain or frosted with Whipped Honey and Cream Cheese Frosting (see below). Unfrosted cupcakes will stay fresh and moist for several days in refrigerator.

WHIPPED HONEY AND CREAM CHEESE FROSTING

In medium bowl whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

In large mixing bowl combine Sue Bee Honey, cream cheese, vanilla and salt and blend well until very creamy. Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream mixture. Once combined, fold in the remaining half. Do not overmix.

Refrigerate until ready to use. Make sure cupcakes are well-cooled or even chilled before frosting.

Serve immediately. Chill leftover cupcakes.
