In September, I started a cupcake adventure. If you haven't read about it yet, you can do so here. ***
Much like the Jelly-Filled Cupcakes, I had some difficulties juggling the baking AND the photographing of this batch. I guess that's what I get for making four kinds of cupcakes at one time! :) However, they were for a good cause, which is way more important than the photos, anyway!
In addition to the Zucchini Pine Nut Cupcakes and the Jelly-Filled Cupcakes, I made Root Beer Float Cupcakes and these Birthday Beauties.
The batter had chunks of fresh strawberries (thanks, Grandpa, for sharing with me from your garden!)
Yummy, look at that big strawberry chunk in that cupcake in the bottom corner. Mmm!
The cupcakes were frosted with a basic powdered sugar/lemon juice glaze and decorated with red sugar crystals:
Since the cupcakes weren't for a birthday, I renamed them Strawberry Beauties when I made the flags. :) Here they are with their buddies:
