White Cherry Cupcake with Butter Frosting are little cakes of moist dense cake with a cherry surprise in the middle. Topped with a creamy thick frosting.
Labor Day is an American federal holiday observed on the first Monday in September that celebrates the economic and social contributions of workers.
Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It also symbolizes the end of summer for many Americans, and is celebrated with parties, parades and athletic events
But lets be honest it is really about the fireworks and the food! Not necessarily in that order. Happy Labor Day to you and I say this cupcake is a great way to celebrate an extra day off work or school and to say farewell to our sweet, sweet summer with a bang!

They look fantastic – I hope you have a fun day!
These look so good! I haven’t had chocolate cream cheese frosting–sounds delicious but very dangerous to have in the house. I think these would be great for July 4th too!
VERY dangerous, make with extreme care… and lots of people to help you eat it! 🙂
