  3. Test for Doneness: Ovens vary, so keep an eye on your cupcakes! A toothpick inserted should come out clean.
  4. Frosting Variations: Feel free to experiment by adding lemon zest to your cream cheese frosting for a hint of citrus.
  5. Avoid Overmixing: Keep mixing to a minimum to ensure your cupcakes are light and fluffy.

Storing and Reheating Tips

If you have any leftovers (which is unlikely!), store your Sweet Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll keep fresh for about 3-5 days. If you want to enjoy them later, they can also be frozen for up to three months. To reheat, let them sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving or pop them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 minutes.

With such delightful flavors and fun textures, you’ll be sure to enjoy these Sweet Honey Peach Cream Cheese Cupcakes all summer long. Happy baking!
