Huckleberry & Peanut Butter and Jam from Cupcake Royale

Every season, Cupcake Royale in Seattle, WA, comes out with some super delicious seasonal flavors.  This year they have brought back their Huckleberry Cupcake.  On their blog they describe this cupcake...

"We fold in fresh, local huckleberries (fresh, as in they were picked for us this past weekend) into our vanilla cupcake and top it with a huckleberry buttercream frosting."


Can we say YUM?

Cupcake Royale's newest cupcake is the Peanut Butter and Jam cupcake!  I love this combo! It's available through September at all of their locations.  Cupcake Royale tells us...

"This classic combo has our vanilla cupcake, filled with fresh local strawberry jam (fresh, as in they made it last week) topped with a super fluffy, salty peanut butter buttercream. Sprinkled with chopped peanuts and a coarse sugar and sea salt."
