Description

Delicious red velvet cupcakes topped with pink buttercream frosting and fresh strawberries.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 baked red velvet cupcakes, prepared in standard paper liners
  • Pink buttercream frosting for piping on top
  • 6 fresh strawberries, halved or whole, for decoration
  • Sweet liquid drizzle, such as honey, maple syrup, or strawberry syrup (optional)

Instructions

  1. Allow the baked red velvet cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack before proceeding to decoration.
  2. Transfer the pink buttercream frosting into a piping bag fitted with your preferred tip. Pipe a generous swirl or dollop of frosting onto each cooled cupcake.
  3. Place one halved or whole fresh strawberry on top of each frosted cupcake for visual appeal and freshness.
  4. Drizzle a small amount of sweet liquid, such as honey or strawberry syrup, over the strawberries on each cupcake for extra sweetness, if desired.
  5. Arrange the decorated cupcakes on a serving platter and present immediately for best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Ensure cupcakes are completely cooled to prevent melting the frosting.
  • Experiment with different types of sweet drizzles for varied flavor profiles.
