What You Need:
  • Cupcakes (I used this recipe) 
  • Buttercream frosting (you can make your own or buy some - either buy green frosting or tint it green with food colouring - I used this recipe) 
  • Strawberries (try and pick ones that are nicely shaped otherwise it might be difficult) 
  • Piping equipment (a bag or bottle) 
  • Sprinkles and decoration (optional)

Method: (Pictures below)
  1. Make your chocolate cupcakes 
  2. Allow them to cool completely before icing 
  3. Make your buttercream frosting and transfer to piping bag 
  4. Wash strawberries and cut the top off so they're completely flat 
  5. Pipe a dot of frosting in the center of the cupcake and place strawberry on that 
  6. Start piping frosting onto strawberry. Start from the bottom and use short bursts. Don't pipe too much otherwise it will all run off and not create the correct effect 
  7. Feel free to decorate 
  8. Place into fridge. It won't harden the icing but if it is hot outside, it'll stop the frosting from melting everywhere and lose shape
