Guess what I can't get enough of?


Well I wanted to see if the strawberry could make such an impression on the batter as it did on the frosting. Well I hate to say that it did not. Maybe it was the yellow cake mix? Maybe it would be better in white? or if I made the cake from scratch? Well have to try that next time. Since I didn't feel that batter was very strawberry I went ahead and made the strawberry frosting again. Which was just as good as last time. To make it a little different I put 1/2 a container of non dairy whipped cream in with it. That made it less sweet, but they have to stay in the fridge now. I wasn't happy that they don't hold the nice swirl of the piping bag with that mixes in, but it is just this once, huh?

Let me just say one word......Strawberry!


My daughter, Gwynn, decided that she wanted to help make the cupcakes. I had bought some strawberry flavoring on clearance and she was dying to give it a try. We decided on regulart chocolate cupcakes with the frosting being strawberry. Well what a combo, it was great!
