Tips from Chef Emma

• Make ahead: Cupcakes can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
• Ingredient swaps: Honey can be replaced with maple syrup for a different natural sweetness.
• Perfect peaches: Choose ripe, juicy peaches for the best flavor. Let firm peaches soften slightly at room temperature.
• Storage: Keep leftover cupcakes in a sealed container; they are best enjoyed within a few days.
