So I first made the cupcakes. I decided to use Funfetti batter. You can buy the box kind or make it from scratch. I was more interested in the frosting, so I bought the box kind.
So this picture is after I actually poured the batter into the cupcake paper cups. So then I bake the cupcakes.
Fresh Strawberry Buttercream Frosting Ingredients
2 sticks (1 cup) butter softened
1/2 jar (3-4oz) marshmallow cream (such as Marshmallow Fluff or Creme)
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
6-7 strawberries, with the stems removed
Directions
Beat butter in a medium bowl with mixer on medium speed until creamy
Beat in marshmallow cream.
Blend in sliced strawberries. Okay this is where it got tricky. I actually put a few sliced strawberries in the frosting mix and it would not blend them. So I finally put them in the blender and liquified them Then I added them to the frosting mixture.Add a little more confectioners’ sugar as needed to achieve the texture you'd like. I liked my texture so I did not add any confectioners sugar. It is totally up to you. Increase speed to high and beat 3 to 4 minutes until fluffy.
When well blended, beat in confectioners' sugar and vanilla.

You can not frost the cupcakes until they are completely cooled, otherwise the frosting with melt.
Then TAAA_DAAAA. It tasted like frest strawberries and cream.
We still have tons of frosting left, so I am going to bake a cake and try to take it to a birthday party we are going to this weekend. We do not need sweets in this house. I took the cupcakes to work and they went quickly. Stay tuned next week when I show you how to make this.....
