Just in time for the upcoming Labor Day holiday – Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes. The summer season is coming to an end and at your final summer party this year, why don’t you make something scrumptious, beautiful and easy? These Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes were a hit at our Fourth of July party this year and fun and easy to create.
Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes
- Bake cupcakes according to directions (you can even use the Angel Food cake mix)
- Diced fresh strawberries
- Mix the diced strawberries with strawberry gel (found in produce section or make your own)
- Top cooled cupcakes with the strawberry mix
- Top with whipped cream (make your own or use the canned version)
- Optional: add a blueberry on top for a pop of fun color, or even a chocolate shaving.
Easy right? These are the kind of desserts I like to make for parties. So easy, pretty and fun to make!
What is your favorite Spring or Summer dessert?
Ahhh these look amazing! Pinning now 🙂
These look so delicious! I love using fresh fruit when baking. The natural sweetness of the strawberries probably made this extra yummy 🙂
i love strawberries! these would be the best summertime treat and easy to make. i know the whole family would like them
These are just lovely! They would be quite the hit at my hubby’s next potluck! They have one a month and I love making things with strawberries!
Yummy, so pretty! I would have to put some chocolate shavings on top of mine.
We love berries and I’m always looking for new ways to use/serve them when they are in season. Strawberry shortcakes are already one of our favorites and I love the idea of making a variation in cupcake form ~ though I admit I’d never even thought of making cupcakes out of angel food cake mix ~ so thanks for that tip too!)
These look delicious and beautiful too ~ the blueberries will make them especially nice for Labor Day gatherings.
What a fun twist! Much better than a dry biscuit!
It is fall and these are perfect for fall, too. I was just eyeing the nicest strawberries at whole foods, now I have a reason to buy them!
