Strawberry Cupcakes [msc]

Photobucket
It's been a while since I've really baked but that's due to the fact that my parents don't really like it when I bake at home. Therefore, I've been baking out of a box. Recently, since I came back up to Berkeley, I'm baking from scratch again. This time I was taking on Martha Stewart's Strawberry Cupcakes.

I had halved the recipe and made about 20. They were delicious, although a bit muffin like as always. In this case, I also subbed the milk for strawberry yogurt. In addition, instead of the buttercream, I decided to make some whipped cream to make it a bit lighter. They were gone very soon and it was delicious!

The recipe for this month's Cupcake Club is found on page 146 of Martha Stewart's Cupcake book or here. Thanks to Sherry of Sherry Starts Cooking for choosing this.

  6. Hi Nina! You sound like me . . I am always modifying recipes to my own personal liking. :)

    I love the whipped cream idea. If it wasn't for cream cheese frosting, I would have gone for that route.

    Thanks for baking along with us! xo

  9. I love your idea of using whipped cream. My meringue was a big fat failure, so I think if I make these again, I will make fresh whipped cream to go with them.

  15. Great cupcakes and I love your alterations, making the cupcake lighter =). Your parents do not like you cooking from scratch at home? I am shocked! They are missing out big time =)
