I am just getting around to blogging about these yummy Strawberries & Cream Cupcakes!  I made them a couple of months ago for a teacher’s 40th birthday party at school.

They were super yummy!

If you love cream cheese and you love strawberries,  you will be a forever fan.

I found the original recipe at a website called Favorite Family Recipes.

She made this as a cake.  I can see myself trying that next.  The frosting is so luscious and gooey, the pan would contain it better.  This is NOT a pipe on kind of frosting.  It is a super easy one to decorate, spoon it on, and top it with half of a fresh strawberry.

So, try it as a cupcake or make it as a 9×13 cake, either way, you have to make it.  I mean it’s summertime… and strawberries are everywhere… try it, you can thank me later.
