Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes

Here’s the story of Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes:

As I was searching around for a cute Valentine style cupcake to post…I happened across a couple different recipes and decided to combine and adapt them which successfully produced my “Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes”!!  They’re made from a cake mix so that’s an easy plus but they have such a Strawberry and Creamy taste that you can hardly eat just one!

… Just saying!!

My inspirations came from a cute site www.yourcupofcake.com !  She has a ton of wonderful desserts over there… mouth watering, actually!

 

Jake says these Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes are his “new favorites” before these it was my Apple Cider Cupcakes!!  He’s a sweet little guy and he even suggested a little competition between us for who could bake the best cupcakes!  He made his cupcakes one night and I made mine the next!  I gotta say he did a really great job for 12 year old flying solo : )

Picture posted of each of our competition pieces at the end of this post… in all fairness I took them when they were each a day old! AND I love that kid!!

I love strawberry shortcake… my husband said these cupcake taste like strawberry shortcake so, I took that as a huge compliment : D

Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes are really pretty easy to make but they also taste so delish AND look too cute to eat but, I promise you will hardly be able to eat just one!!  ENJOY!!
