I love berries! Raspberries, blackberries, mulberries and of course strawberries, and given they are easy to freeze and the quality of frozen berries is so much better, there is no excuse not to make berry flavored cupcakes!
Yesterday I made a ripper raspberry cream cheese frosting for my rich wonderful chocolate cupcakes and it was sensational, so today I thought I would move on to the magnificent strawberry!
1. Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Meringue Frosting
These cupcakes have been adapted from Martha Stewarts strawberry cupcake recipe by Cocoa and Vanilla and look simply scrummy! The blog has heaps of step by step photos and lots of good strawberry shots!
2. Strawberry Cupcakes
My next choice is from Annie Eats and are super cute! Remember cupcakes are great for Valentines day and pink ones such as these strawberry cupcakes, or any other berry cupcakes are perfect for the occasion because of their reds and pinks!
3. Chocolate Cupcakes with Flaming Strawberries
These are seriously impressive cupcakes and come from Sprinkles Cupcakes. I would love to give these a go! The trick (apparently) is to ensure that your strawberry is leak proof, otherwise it is destined to fail!
4. Strawberry and Cream Cupcakes
If you are looking for something a little fresher and colder, then perhaps you will fall in love with the classic strawberry and cream cupcakes. There are many ways to achieve this, chopped strawberries and whipped cream in side a cupcake, or piled on top as 6 Bittersweets has done here!
5. Strawberry Cheesecake Cupcakes
Another timeless combination is the strawberry with the cheesecake. So why not mix the cheesecake with the cupcake? The Cake Mistress does just that in creating this sweet combination which would be bound to be a hit with both cheesecake and cupcake lovers!
