The best Peach Cupcakes – cupcakes are packed with peach flavor from peach jam and fresh peaches. Then they are topped with a delicious peach buttercream.
Cupcakes make the perfect single serve dessert! We love these Peach Cupcakes, but if you want even more cupcake recipes, try these Carrot Cake Cupcakes, Red Velvet Cupcakes, or Key Lime Cupcakes!
I love cupcakes. They make me happy. Especially when a recipe comes together so perfectly the first time around.
We know that I am obsessed with peach season here in Utah. I can’t believe this is only the second peach recipe I’ve posted this year. But this one is so good. I knew that I wanted some good peach flavor in the cupcakes, but I also knew that a lot of time, when you bake with fruit like this, the flavor is lost. So I decided to use both peach jam and fresh peaches. You’ll want a really good quality peach jam for these, preferably with some good chunks. I canned a ton of jam a couple of years ago, and this helped me to get through a bit more of it!!
And don’t forget the icing! Once again, I used jam to make sure the peach flavor was prominent. And a fresh peach slice is the perfect topping to bring it all together.
If you are a peach lover, these cupcakes are for you!!

It will all work out in the end. Your cut backs as much as they do suck. They will pay off in the end. We have been in similar situations. It’s tough, but God will never put anything on your plate you can’t handle. Or atleast that’s what I always tell myself when things get tough. Hang in there, you have a beautiful family…. and these stunning cupcakes. THAT is something to be happy about!
Robyn says
Good luck on everything. We’ve been there, I understand. 🙂 I hope everything gets figured out soon, and I will let you know if I hear of any jobs.

We gain strength in adverse circumstances and we all read your blog postings, that’s how we learn who you are and what your representing. We enjoy the recipes, but the story’s bring you all to life, when you share with us. It brings some perspective into our lives that we also have the same problems and issues, that we are not alone. It’s enjoyable to read the posting and more enjoyable to share the recipes. Prayers for you and your husband, God does not give us more than we can handle and with an abundance of prayers coming your way, so many miracles happen. You have each other and thats the most important step forward. Have faith and God will see you thru.
Bree says
ugh, That is so hard and I am sending you good job vibes for your husband. I am glad that you made a tough decision that will ease some of your stress, which will be especially important with a baby on the way. Best of luck and the cupcakes do look like they would make anyone smile! 🙂

Oh wow!!! I know EXACTLY how you feel! I was a full-time graphic designer and was recently laid off, so now I have to work really hard with recipe development projects, freelance gigs, and contributing writing projects. I have to!!! My prayers are with you and your family. I truly hope your hubby find something very soon. Best of luck with your move.
Emily says
I love you even more for sharing your struggles. And somehow it makes your recipes, your photos, your words all the more real. Thank you. (And I will cross fingers, toes, even eyes for a new opportunity for your husband.)
Barbara @ Barbara Bakes says
I hope a wonderful job opportunity opens up for your husband soon. You do a wonderful job developing recipes and writing your posts. Hopefully this move will be just what you need.
Mimi @ Culinary Couture says
I read through your whole post, I always do! I really hope everything works out for you and your husband, stay strong!
amanda @ fake ginger says
Hang in there, lady! I have SO been there. Before my husband joined the Army, he was laid off 3 times within a year and after the 3rd one, we ended up staying with family for a couple months. Things will get better! And I’m sure your family will love having the kids around!
Anna @ Crunchy Creamy Sweet says
Sweet Deborah, I’m so sorry to hear about your struggles… Sending big hugs to you and your family! I am sure everything will solve itself out very soon! As a mother of three I know how hard it must be for you to keep everything together. But you are an amazing and strong woman – such an inspiration! PS: Your cupcakes look so scrumptious! Perfect to enjoy my favorite summer fruit!
Kristy says
Oh Deborah! I know you’re not looking for sympathy, but I do want to offer my empathy. We’ve been there. We even lived with parents for a year too. You are right, it will get better. I believe life always has a way of sorting itself out. Sometimes it’s just hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. And let’s face it, some days are just plain tough. Hang in there. I’ll keep you in my thoughts. I think simplifying things is always helpful (I could probably stand to do some myself!) and as for these cupcakes…they sure would cheer me up! 🙂 Hugs to you!
Flavia says
Hi Deborah,
I am so sorry to hear that you and your husband are going through a challenging time right now, and I want you to know that you are one of many friends whom I keep in my daily prayers and thoughts. It is always hard to remember or believe that God never gives us more than we can handle, but during my own challenging times, I have slowly come to realize that this fact couldn’t be more true. It sounds like your parents are also a couple of guardian angels. Just remember to take care of yourself and your family first. I will continue to keep you and your husband in my prayers and thoughts. Although I don’t have any job leads, I do know that jobs here in Houston, Texas are plentiful and our economy is very strong. I don’t know how far you are willing to relocate, but if you have any questions, please feel free to email me and I would be happy to help you with whatever information you may need about Houston. Love and Hugs to you!

Rebekah says
Your blog is one of my favorites because you do get personal and I enjoy that. I read through them and THEN GAWK at the recipe. YUM!!!
I know someone going through a similar situation and it is so hard. I will be praying for your family. Moving in with the parents is not a bad thing at all. I hope you notice a lot of stress leaving once you are there. Good luck with everything!
