i spent more than half my day in the kitchen today, which is really one of my favorite places to be. at least, it is when i'm feeling creative. and today i was, so i really enjoyed myself. allie had requested white cupcakes with strawberry frosting for her birthday. what? i've never made strawberry frosting before, but i consulted with janae and decided to make a cream cheese base, minus the vanilla, and then puree strawberries in the blender to use in place of milk. they turned out FANTASTIC!
i have to say, these are maybe my favorite cupcakes that i've EVER made, they were so, so yummy. unfortunately, i never follow a frosting recipe, so next time i crank these babies out, i'll be sure to keep track of how much of each ingredient so i can post it on blogger moms cook. until then, you'll just have to enjoy the pretty photograph. of course, it was not just these cupcakes that kept me in the kitchen. i helped lauri with a primary cupcake project and made dinner early because i knew the evening would be hectic.
as a side note, i also baked cheesecake flavored pie filling (pudding) in the middle and i think i will continue to experiment with this, it was pretty good i thought. and i am loving the giant round tip i found yesterday at orson gygi for piping the frosting mostly because it makes it look like a pile of whipped cream on top, so cute. aren't they gorgeous!? YUM.

Cute! I think you should write a cupcake cookbook! Those sound really yummy and I will probably crave cupcakes the rest of the day now.
These look awesome! They are so beautiful it would be hard to eat them...until you had one bite :) Anything with cream cheese frosting has to be delicious!
Those cupcakes looked way YUMMY!!! What lucky kids you have to have such a great Mom like you! :)
yum! they turned out amazing! even better than i imagined on the phone and in my head (if that makes sense). I can't wait for you to make them again...and again! :)
My mouth is watering...so yummy..any left?
Those are gorgeous, and look so scrumptious! I can't believe you just made up a perfectly delicious recipe. Wende, is there anything you CAN'T do?
BTW, I made your lemon buttercream frosting today... forget the cake, I could eat that stuff with a spoon!
WOW - if they tasted better than they look then they must have been DELISH!!!! Good job!
