Expert Tips for Perfect Peach Cupcakes
Peach Selection: Choose ripe but firm peaches for best texture - overripe peaches will make batter too wet.
Mixing Patience: Don't overmix batter after adding flour - this will result in tough, dense cupcakes.
Frosting Quality: Use room temperature cream cheese and butter for smooth, lump-free frosting texture.
Temperature Control: All ingredients should be at room temperature for best mixing and texture overall.
Assembly Order: Make sure cupcakes are completely cool before frosting to prevent melting.
Serving Tip: Cupcakes taste best when served at room temperature with fresh peach garnish.
