• Grape Jam Filling : Core the cupcakes and fill with homemade or store-bought grape jam.
• Citrus Twist : Add lemon or orange zest to the batter.
• Vegan Option : Substitute flax eggs and plant-based butter.
• Streusel Topping : Mix ¼ cup flour, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tbsp butter for a crumbly layer.

Tips for Success

• Use Seedless Grapes : If pureeing, avoid seeds for a smoother texture.
• Don’t Overfill : Fill liners ⅔ full to prevent overflow.
• Glaze Timing : Apply while cupcakes are cool but glaze is still warm for a glossy finish.
• Storage : Keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze unfrosted cupcakes.

Serving Suggestions

• Birthday Parties : Perfect for a “purple-themed” celebration.
• Brunch : Pair with mimosas or yogurt parfaits.
• Romantic Dessert : Top with edible gold leaf or a drizzle of dark chocolate.
