MInt Chocolate Chip and Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes

Last night I made two dozen cupcakes for a birthday. For the first dozen I made a fresh strawberry cupcake. Once they cooled I filed them with fresh strawberry preserves and frosted them with an almond buttercream. Yummmm. The second dozen I made a dark chocolate mint chocolate chip cupcake and topped it with a mint buttercream and green sugar crystals.

Strawberry Cream Cheese

These are the cupcakes that were ordered by one of Kurt's co-workers. It is a strawberry cupcake with cream cheese frosting. YUMMMMM....

BOY OR GIRL?

This was my favorite cupcake making extravaganza yet. A lady from work asked me to make these cupcakes because her daughter was finding out whether she was having a boy or girl. She asked me to make 2 dozen cupcakes with half having a strawberry filling and the other having a blue cream filling. She had the ultrasound tech call me today to tell me if it was a boy or girl and I told her which box to open and eat. Her whole family was getting together tonight and they were going to hand out cupcakes and all bite into them at the same time to find out what the sex was. I thought this was the coolest idea and was so happy to be able to be part of this fun experience. By the way it was a GIRL! Hope you enjoy as always! :)

Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes

Today I had some time so I made some cupcakes. It has been a while because we have been really busy putting together our adoption profiles. Make sure to check out our personal blog at shaileenandkurt.blogspot.com. I made two different kinds but both are similar. The first was a chocolate butter cream frosting and the other is my famous cream cheese frosting. The cake is a fresh strawberry with real strawberry filling (puree). They turned out great and are delicious. Kurt specifically likes the cream cheese frosting and he doesn't even like cream cheese :) hope you enjoy!

Strawberry Reduction Butter Cupcake

So this is a butter cupcake and I filled them with a strawberry reduction!! yummmmm!

I made my yummy homemade cream cheese frosting and just did a classic swirl on top.

I then added some of the leftover fondant to match the cake made earlier. I brought them to work also to go along with the cake.

Here is the final product!! yummo :-D
