Ingredients

1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix 15.25 oz.
21 ounces cherry pie filling
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 large eggs v
2 cans Cream Cheese Frosting
Sprinkles
18 maraschino cherries

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Line muffin tins with 18 cupcake liners. Set aside.
Place cake mix, eggs, cherry pie filling and almond extract in a large bowl. With an electric mixer on low, beat until ingredients are combined. Turn mixer up to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Scoop into prepared pans. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a cupcake comes out clean. Let cool.
To decorate, pour frosting into piping bag fitted with a 1M star tip. Pipe frosting onto the cupcakes in a swirling pattern. Add sprinkles and cherry on top. Serve immediately or store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Make sure cupcakes are completely cooled before frosting them. If you can't find the pastry tip, try any star tip or you can skip the piping bag and frost them with a butter knife.
