Jama's Fancy Cakes

By: J. Lynn

"This recipe is a pretty to look at chocolate cupcake. They take a little bit of extra work, but it's worth it! I make cupcakes for my fiance and his fellow firefighters every time he works a shift, and these are the ones that disappear the quickest!"

3 cups heavy whipping cream
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

In chilled medium bowl combine whipping cream and sugar. Beat with an electric mixer on high until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
After cupcakes are cooled completely, frost with a level layer of whipped cream frosting.

Spoon a small amount of cherry pie filling in the center of each. Refrigerate and enjoy!
