My vanilla cupcake with fresh strawberry frosting. Yay spring!
Cheap strawberries are everywhere in Northern California right now, signaling that spring is here. With Memorial Day barbecues just around the corner, I wanted to create a cupcake that would celebrate the delicious flavor of a fresh strawberry, and this is what I came up with: a light vanilla cupcake and a fresh strawberry frosting, both inspired by Cheryl at Cupcake Bakeshop, my favorite cupcake blogger.
This cupcake may look tame, but don’t be fooled. The light vanilla cupcake perfectly supports a strawberry frosting that smacks you across the face with fresh strawberry flavor first and asks questions later. And frankly, that’s the way I like my frosting. Light and bitchy.
