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!!
