Strawberry Filling for Cupcakes

I recently partnered with The Bozzuto Group, a real estate company that develops and manages fabulous homes and apartment buildings in the Mid-Atlantic, to create the perfect cupcake recipe in celebration of their 25th anniversary. The recipe was inspired by their office favorite, strawberry filling for cupcakes, to go along with their 25 for 25! Sweepstakes.


I haven’t had strawberry shortcake in years! My mom used to make it for us during the summertime for dessert. It was such a treat. I always loaded up on the whipped cream. My favorite part. I was excited that my responsibility for the recent partnership with Bozzuto was to make a treat replicating my childhood favorite dessert.

For the cupcakes, I used my go-to vanilla cupcake recipe. It’s a simple vanilla batter that does not require a mixer. Everything may be mixed by hand. They are infused with vanilla extract and vanilla bean. Just pure tasting vanilla goodness. You may leave out the fresh vanilla bean, but I strongly recommend you using it. These cupcakes are vanilla to the extreme. Soft, fluffy, and so much aromatic vanilla.

What’s strawberry shortcake without… well… strawberries? filled my vanilla cupcakes with homemade strawberry filling. If you think that the vanilla cupakes are easy, just wait until you experience the simplicity of this filling. 2 cups of diced strawberries cooked down with sugar and cornstarch. The mixture will thicken and it will be comparable to a sweet homemade strawberry jam with a few glorious chunks of real strawberry.

Simply carve out a tiny hole in the center of the cupcake with a sharp knife. The hole will be about 3/4 inch deep. I didn’t use a ruler or anything – just make sure you don’t hit the bottom of the cupcake and you’ll be all set. Top the cupcake with the piece you cut out as seen in the background of the photo above. It doesn’t have to look pretty because you’ll be topping the cupcake with whipped cream.

Why didn’t I use a piping tip and bag to fill the cupcakes? Good question. The filling has strawberry chunks in it and it’s much simpler to spoon it inside rather than pipe it inside. Spooning the filling is also not as messy. Bonus!


The topping? Well, it’s homemade strawberry filling for cupcakes whipped cream of course. Between the cupcakes, the filling, and therefore the topping , I found that the topping was the simplest . And quickest! Nothing from the shop can replicate this strawberry topping .

You will layer the strawberry whipped cream on top of the cupcakes with a knife. Then decorate with a few strawberry slices if desired. Nothing fancy. Told ya these cupcakes are easy! I love the beautiful chunks of strawberry hiding within the light pink topping . 🙂

Jewelry in Candles Ring

I don’t know about you, but I love candles! Especially scented candles. At least, I love those candles that make your whole room or apartment smell good. Not those cheap jewelry in candles ring that cost like $5 at the discount stores. Those may look pretty, but you have to practically stick your nose in it to smell anything. Diamond Candles put off a great smell and when placed in a central location, will scent the whole room! Diamond Candles are made of soy and use essential oils and non-toxic synthetic fragrances for their scent. Some options don’t contain any synthetic fragrance. Diamond Candles are not only great candles that make your house smell nice–that have a little secret! Each Diamond Candle contains a ring valued anywhere from $10-$5000. Honestly, though. It’s probably gonna be a $10 ring.  But that’s ok. It’s still a neat concept and the ring will probably look pretty no matter what. It took me a while to get the candle burned down to the little foil ball cont

Candles with Rings - Unrivaled Candles

A ring candle is a regular scented candle, but with a surprise ring hidden inside. As you burn through the candle, it gets lower and lower, eventually exposing the hidden ring. This is what makes ring candles a very cute gift idea for your loved ones. Typically, the rings hidden inside ring candles are picked randomly. The values of these randomly picked rings usually range from $10 to $5,000. Given that ring candles themselves cost up to $30, you could get exceptional value for the money if you get very lucky. Not only that, but a $5,000 ring in a candle would make for an exceptional gift! With that said, we would like to talk about this value range a little bit more in-depth so that you know how you should approach ring candles. The way we view it, ring candles definitely aren’t the best option for big occasions. Candles with rings certainly aren’t suitable for a proposal, for example, even though a $5,000 ring would be a great ring to propose with. But the thing is that
