benefits of cherries + red

 

We're starting the new year out with some new cupcake flavors and I think this is my new favorite!

Cherry Cheesecake...vanilla bean cake, stuffed with cheesecake, topped with sweet cream cheese frosting and a fresh cherry, meyer lemon, vanilla bean sauce.

My amazing baking assistant gave me a special gift for Christmas, it's a book titled 100 best foods for pregnancy.  I love it...it outlines the health benefits of 100 different foods and I now find myself striving to shove all 100 of them into my diet each day!  You may just find some more power ingredients in our cupcakes each week.  So just so you know...cherries are considered a super fruit, loaded with antioxidants that aid in the reduction of heart disease & cancer, help regulare sleep cycles, prevent memory loss and reduce pain & joint soreness after workouts.  I totally get that you need to eat more cherries that what are perched on top of the cherry cheesecake cupcakes, but every little bit helps, right?

The color of cherries has some cool benefits as well, including increasing enthusiasm and energy.  And it signifies power & love.  Here are some fun red finds that may just perk up your day:
