Chocolate Brownie Strawberry Cupcakes w/Cream Cheese Frosting

















Here's the story: F gave me a packet of strawberry mix. This morning when I got up at 7:30am I realized it said I could only get 6 cupcakes out of the mix. That would NOT work as seeing I was going to bring these to a birthday party tonight. My early morning solution which turned out to be a great idea was to use a box of my brownie mix as a base and top them all off with a little strawberry mix. I baked the chocolate mix for 7 minutes, took them out and put the strawberry on and baked for another 12-14 minutes.

What's the frosting you ask? Cream cheese frosting! A wonderful mix of cream cheese (2, 8 oz), butter (1/2 c.), confectioners sugar (2 cups, sifted), and vanilla (1 tsp). The bag method as pictured failed miserably so I switched to the piping gun I was lent from my co-worker. And topped with fresh strawberries! Let's hope they are a hit tonight!
