Directions:
1.) Begin by laying out all the ingredients that are needed for the cupcake mixture. You will then do all measurements of each mixture ingredient place in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Once mixed place in cupcake pans and bake for the allotted time on the cake mix box for the cupcakes.
2.) Now you need to lay out all ingredients for the infusion, which is the two fruits strawberries and raspberries. Use a small amount of each fruit 1 1/2 containers of raspberries and 1/2 container of strawberries (be sure to leave your desired amount of strawberries for the top enough for each cupcake.) Mash/ Blend together thoroughly until all mixed and looks as if it is jelly.
*Be sure to wash your fruit in baking soda and warm water for 15 minutes to kill all pesticides and rid of germs from the strawberries.*
Place in a bowl and off to the side
3.) Now begin by making your cream cheese frosting. First lay out all ingredients.
4.) You will then put in all desired measurements of each ingredient into a mixing bowl and can mix on your own or if you have a handheld that works great as well. Once all is blended well and looks creamy...give it a taste test it is okay no one knows but you the chef...hahaha.
5.) During the time you mixing your cream cheese icing your timer will go off letting you know to take out your cupcakes. Take them out and dump them on to counter so that they do not continue to bake while in the pan and while you are finishing up one task.
6.) While cupcakes cool down gather your cream cheese icing and place in a piping bag and lay over to the side.
7.) Gather your cupcakes and lay them out accordingly, once that is done you will need to use a piping tip you are currently not using and be sure to use a small one, use the open end and press down into the cupcake and pull out the bread part and do that for all cupcakes.
8.) You will now place your infusion in the middle of each cupcake and use a spoon it is easier to do it this way to ensure you do not out too much or too little.
9.) Now that you have your infusion in, it is time for icing. Using your piping bag of icing gently do each cupcake by making a swirl on top as you normally see cupcakes.
10.) Now that you have that done for these cupcakes place a raspberry on each one and then and drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Once you are done enjoy and serve these delicious cupcakes. Please leave a review or rating...or do both....your choice. Hope you enjoy the recipe.
