Shirley Temple Cupcakes for Valentine’s Day

I remember when I was little that on special occasions like Valentine’s Day my mom would allow us to order a Shirley Temple beverage if we were going out for dinner or she would surprise us with them at home.

The beautiful pink color of this festive drink, garnished with maraschino cherries has always been the quintessential beverage of childhood. We use 7UP in our Shirley Temple cupcakes and the soda gives the cupcake a light and airy texture.

Did you know that you could use 7UP in a variety of uses? It can be used in punch, marinades, mix drinks, cakes, and cookies and of course cupcakes! We always have plenty of 7UP in the house when we are hosting special occasions as well as regular weekdays.

These festive and beautiful Shirley Temple Cupcakes really make a statement for Valentine’s Day. I love the crisp flavor that the 7UP adds to the batter and I was able to get everything I needed to make these cupcakes at Walmart. This is one of those recipes that are so easy to make because you are using packaged helpers! There is nothing better than that!

    These look amazing! I always knew you could use soda in cake mixes, but I’ve never tried it before. I looks like I should definitely try it!

    They are in the oven right now. I’ll attempt to make my own frosting though. Saw your ingredients included vanilla extract but it wasn’t used in the recipe. Was it to go in the batter or the frosting?

      I’m sorry- it goes in the batter—- I will fix the recipe now. I think you will be fine though because the cherries are sweet. You can add to the frosting too to make up for it!

    Do you know if your Shirley temple cupcakes can be frozen, either without or with frosting?
    Thank you

      I would think that you can freeze without the frosting.
