I just made these cupcakes and they are amazing! The goat cheese frosting tastes great and not weird at all 🙂 I’m making these for two different parties and bet they will be a hit. Thanks for the recipe!
You’re welcome. I am so glad to hear this! My friends and family absolutely love this recipe!
How French – berries and goat cheese. I love goat cheese – actually, I love ALL cheese!! The only differnce I’d make to this (and will, because this is going into my marketing list tomorrow along with a few other recipes I found here today), is that I’ll try and use blackberries, instead, I am addicted to them!
I LOVE GOAT CHEESE!!!! Thanks for the sweet/savory nibble I cannot wait to make at MUNCHING MONDAYS!!!! You girls rock! Warmest, Nic
This looks yum!! I better not tell my kids or my husband about that goat cheese though. What they don’t know won’t hurt them!!

these are my absolute favorite to bake for adult birthdays or special occasions. Due to the bad rap goat cheese gets I never tell anyone about the frosting until they have tasted it and commented that its delicious. Then their reaction is always “no way I don’t even like goat cheese” Super easy and quick to make and put together. Easy to double as well
