How To Make strawberry shortcake cupcakes

  • 1
    Bake cupcakes as directed per cake mix. Adjust your water, oil and egg whites accordingly. I use Duncan Hines.
  • 2
    While cupcakes are baking. Dice 2 cups of strawberries in 1/8- 1/4 inch in size. Add sugar to taste. Refrigerate until ready to fill.
  • 3
    When cupcakes are cool, take a spoon or melon ballers work great and scoop out the center of the cupcake. Do not go too deep. You are creating a pocket for your filling.
  • 4
    Drain excess syrup from strawberry filling and fill cupcake pockets.
  • 5
    Whip together whipping cream, powdered sugar, pudding mix and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Do not over whip.
  • 6
    Pipe on frosting or apply with spatula. We prefer a lot of frosting on our cupcakes.
  • 7
    Garnish with fresh strawberries and raw sugar ;if desired.
  • 8
    These cupcakes need to be refrigerated and do not store longer than a few days...if they last that long.
