These are loosely based on an old Pillsbury Bakeoff bar cookie winner that I made (IMHO) better...
CHERRY BLOSSOMS
CHERRY BLOSSOMS
For the cupcakes:
1 pkg. devil's food cake mix (I used Aldi's)
1 can cherry pie filling
3 large eggs
1 tsp. almond extract
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips or nuts (optional)
Mix all ingredients together by hand in a large bowl; divide equally among lined muffin cups, filling 2/3 full. (I got 20.)
Bake at 350° for about 20 minutes until the top springs back when lightly pressed.
For the Cherry Buttercream:
1 stick (4 oz.) unsalted butter
1 pkg (8 oz.) cream cheese
4-5 cups powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. cherry extract
couple of drops of red food coloring
1 jar maraschino cherries
Beat butter & cream cheese at high speed until fluffy, adding sugar a cup or so at a time until you get the consistency you want; add extracts. If you need to thin the frosting a bit, use the juice from the jar of cherries.
Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes, and place a cherry on top of each for decoration.
I also sprinkled the top with crushed cherry-vanilla bark.

How good are these? Well, let me tell you...
When I had an eye injury and couldn't use the computer to monitor my bank balance, I inadvertently got an overdraft...with a steep fee.
Took some of these to the bank next time I had to go.
Fee gone!

Walker, in that case you want donuts.
In fact, I took some pumpkin maple donuts to the mechanic today and asked about getting my broken light fixed. He said I could get the part cheaper on eBay, and once it comes in he'll put it on for free!
