One of my all time favourites snacks ever is strawberries and cream. Not only is it refreshing, but it is also healthier than most snacks that you can pick. With that being said, I decided I wanted to make this recipe for Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes.

Freshly Picked Strawberries

Something about the tanginess of the strawberries mixed with the sweetness of the cream, it makes my taste buds explode. One day sitting at home with my teens, we decided that we were bored and wanted to go somewhere. Our local farm has just opened, so we packed ourselves up and headed to the berry fields.

Once we got back, I had to try and figure out what to do with all of these strawberries that we picked. Trust me, there were a ton of them! Some were short and plump, some were long and thing, and some were simply perfect. Recently, I cannot get enough of making cupcakes. I love to go in the kitchen, start a mix from scratch and make a delicious cupcake. It is so rewarding. You are just going to love these Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes! These cupcakes are so easy to make for fresh strawberries!

Baby Shower Cupcakes

I have to admit that these Strawberries and Cream Cupcakes are perfect to make and bring at a baby shower party for a baby girl gender reveal! Whip up a batch and put the cupcakes on pink plates with pink napkins and cutlery on a table that has a pink tablecloth. Don’t forget to display pink and white balloons!
