With a thick, fresh strawberry syrup poured inside a vanilla cupcake topped with whipped cream, you can’t go wrong! These are just delicious!
I like this a lot better than jello-poked cakes or cupcakes.
I have made these with my own vanilla homemade cupcake recipe which I absolutely love and will share, but this version with the box mix is quick and real good too!
It works with standard-size cupcakes but I prefer making this with the jumbo- muffin/cupcake tins to get even more of that delicious strawberry filling inside each one.
Enjoy!
