Made these today and the cupcakes came out tasting wonderful. The frosting was a little thin but here’s what I did…… I used 2 8oz blocks of cream cheese instead of the mascarpone. Live in an area where most people have never heard of it! I end up using 6 cups of powdered sugar but it was still a little thin, decided to put it in the refrigerator to stiffen it up. That did the trick and piped easily on the cupcakes. I will be keeping these in the fridge so the frosting holds it’s shape. Note this was way too much frosting for 24 cupcakes so next time I will be halving the recipe and try a little less strawberry purée in the frosting to see how it works. Great recipe and thanks for sharing!

The issue with the frosting is that there is too much strawberry puree/jam in it. I make the frosting as a buttercream and then SLOWLY add in the strawberry puree. If you add too much too quickly, it will curdle and become runny and there is no way to fix it. No amount of powdered sugar or mascarpone is going to fix it. If you have any more questions, feel free to email me. desiringdesserts@gmail.com. Have a delicious day

I just used this recipe but didn’t have self rising flour so I used 1 1/4 tsp baking powder and 1/8 tsp salt they came out lovely and I filled them with a fresh strawberry salad and homemade whip cream .. They were so light and fluffy and it tasted just like heaven!

[...] This soft, crumbly and slightly creamy biscuit “cake” filled with fresh, ripe and juicy strawberries and dreamy pillows of lightly sweetened whipped cream is the quintessential summertime dessert. Doesn’t it look fabulous? The only downside to this luscious treat is that it isn’t the easiest thing in the world to eat at a party.

Hi I just had a question about this recipe. In the beginning it says you need 1 dozen vanilla cupcakes but in the recipe you provide to make your own it makes 2 dozen. Does that mean that the recipe for the filling and icing is enough for just 1 dozen cupcakes or 2? Thanks!

I just made these for a baby shower, the frosting does not work. I followed the recipe exactly as written, at 5 cups of powdered sugar I had something the consistency of a glaze, because I needed to be at the party in 45 minutes I just kept adding sugar, after 2 lbs it still wasn’t frosting, it was incredibly runny & didn’t taste like anything other than powdered sugar $5.99 worth of mascarpone $2 worth of powdered sugar, plus butter strawberries & jam in the garbage =( Thank goodness I had some cream in the fridge, ended up whipping that and piping it on top.

@Rachel How did they turn out with the yellow mix? I wanna make 50 of these for a wedding. Did the frosting hold well during the event?

Making these for my sister in law’s shower tomorrow bc I showed the recipe to her, and she wanted these over a cake. I’ve made 50 cupcakes right now, so I will be doing the frosting and gelee in the morning. I’ve already goofed though I bought yellow cupcakes instead of the vanilla ones. Oh well. I’m sure they’ll still taste amazing
