Delightful Berries and Cream Fruity Cupcakes

Among my first  baking projects were cupcakes. The idea came to me when I visited my favorite bake shop and saw delicious cupcakes of all kinds. What was so enticing about them was the colorful icing and designs! Thus, I decided to make my very own fruity cupcakes. I bought a dozen different flavors that day; I wanted to test the different flavors and varieties so I would know what to bake. Next stop, supermarket! Need some baking supplies!

Why We Love Fruity Cupcakes

Ever since I started baking these Berries and Cream Fruity Cupcakes, I made it a habit to make them at least two or three times a month. I turned it into a fun activity with my kids and my niece, too. Even though all my children are boys, it is the perfect time to teach them the scientific art of baking. I think baking also teaches one to become methodical and patient. It’s also the perfect way to teach kids cooking and baking skills. Boys can also be great in the kitchen. That is why we have chefs. Well, my hubby cooks great food — his forté is grilling and roasting!

For this recipe I used fresh strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, and blueberries. You can use other fruits, too, whichever are in season. The sweet cream and melted chocolate are the perfect combination to any fruit. I let the children decorate the cupcakes to encourage their artistic abilities. They truly enjoy making different designs with the cupcakes. My youngest even thought of layering the fruits with the cream and added some chocolate syrup on top! (Sorry, I forgot to take a photo– it was so good it was gone in a minute!)

I hope you enjoy making these delicious Berries and Cream Fruity Cupcakes as much as we did. Oh, and here’s a photo of the birthday cupcakes I made for my niece.
