What are Sprinkles Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting?

And now cupcakes!  Beverly Hills famed Sprinkles Strawberry Cupcakes have been on my list for quite some time. They’re light, airy, and delicious. The overall effort was about 3 hours, but the results are well worth it.

Can I Reduce the Sugar Content in the Frosting

The cake portion of this recipe was perfect and not too sweet, however the frosting was a bit too sweet for my liking, but many others loved the extra sweetness.  Having said that, the frosting perfectly balances out the sweetness in these cupcakes, but regardless I will cut down on the powdered sugar amount to 2 1/2 cups instead of 3 cups.

    I do not know why every one says do not over mix. Ina also says that. Since you have mentioned in bold letters, would like to know the reason. Have you ever overmixed the cake batter? How was the end results? Just curious.

    Cos my mother always do overmix – and the cakes turn out to be extra extra soft, light and tasty. Her butter cakes are the best. Even for chocolate cakes, etc, she uses butter and overmix as usual. She also believed overmixing is bad. But I found overmixed batter cakes were tastier than the other one.

    No matter what cake she makes. She sticks to 1 kg butter, 1 kg sugar (less if she is using fruits), 1 kg flour, 20 eggs. Hope you did not faint to see the ingredients. Haha. She beats egg whites and yolk separately and never in her life used baking powder (I know, unbelievable) whenever she bakes cakes / cookies.

    Since those cakes were baked in charcoal ovens, I love to eat them hot hot. Sometimes I eat the entire top layer as they can be nicely rolled and removed. Mom had to cover it with frostings 😛 Never tasted such tasty cakes. I always nag her to overmix, so I can eat the raw batter. It is yum. 😀

    PS: Nice to see you back. Keep posting regularly please.

      @Anonymous – LOL. Your comment made me smile. I believe in the past I have overmixed the batter and the results were usually tough. Nowadays I generally mix the batter just until everything is well combined. I cannot tell you why your mom's cakes turned out extra extra soft, perhaps it doesn't make much of a difference if you overmix the batter when using lots of butter. Butter makes everything taste amazing.
      OMG – 20 eggs. 🙂
      Thanks for your nice comment, I will keep posting more regularly, I'm leaning in slowly. Lots of good stuff coming. 🙂

      Yes, there is. I like that we try to be healthy when possible, but yes, sometimes you need to just bake full-fat. Time flies. 🙂

The best part about this dish is my "special taco sauce" which complements these quesadillas perfectly. ⁠

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up s Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms who show up selflessly every single day. Also, a happy mothers day to all of you who want to be moms. ❤️  This is the most challenging role of my life, but the journey is totally worth it. Krish has made me a stronger and happier person. He gives new meaning to my life.  And lastly, my kid couldn’t give me one nice picture of us in Hawaii… there’s either someone in the back or he’s making a face or he just wants to get away. He just can’t sit still for a minute… and with that a Happy Mother’s Day to me! 🥰

Vacationing with a kid has been a completely diffe Vacationing with a kid has been a completely different experience. While it’s nice to spend time as a family, dinners can get tough with a baby. Sanjiv and I enjoyed a romantic evening at House Without A Key in peace because Krish “thankfully” fell asleep (he was behind us I promise… swipe). It was so nice to converse with my better half over live music + cocktails, delicious food, and the BEST coconut cake (last pic). A memorable meal and evening! ❤️ #mylove

Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to H Aloha 🤙! Our first family trip! We made it to Hawaii safe and sound, and Krish was pretty good on the plane. It’s my first time in Hawaii and I’m loving Waikiki… the beach, food, window shopping, and city life. I love being able to walk everywhere. It’s the perfect amount of action and relaxation for me. This is totally my kinda vacation 😎!  Krish has been loving all the people-watching… something he doesn’t do much of back home. He’s been flexible and has pretty much adjusted to our schedule. Thank you 🙏🏼 guys for all the food recommendations (Duke’s Hula Pie) and tips on traveling with a toddler. I can’t thank you all enough. ❤️ #myworld
