Cherry Cupcakes

Cherry Cupcakes, a new playlist from Polka Dot Cottage
After auditioning dozens of potential tunes over the last few months, I finally committed to 23 old-fashioned-ish songs for my Open Window Summer Kitchen mix that I mentioned last month.

Only I decided to call it Cherry Cupcakes instead. It’s catchier. And I like the cover better.

This is one of those “theme” playlists that has a certain mood to it. Think of a warm day in late spring or early summer. You’re in the kitchen, wearing an apron and baking something frivolous. What are you listening to as you twirl around, spatula in hand?

I think maybe you’re listening to some old standards, some modern voices interpreting the classics, and some dreamy folk. Take a listen and tell me if this hits the spot:

Cherry Cupcakes from lclarke522 on 8tracks Radio.

And just so you aren’t disappointed, if you popped in here looking for a cherry cupcake recipe, let me point you to this. I made a variation of Sweetapolita’s recipe the one and only time I baked cherry cupcakes.

I think I’m due for another batch. Good thing I’ve got just the playlist for that!

Edited to add a list of songs in the playlist:

1. Pink Martini – Let’s Never Stop Falling In Love (3:02)
2. Madeleine Peyroux – Dance Me To The End of Love (3:54)
