I am so ecstatic right now. It was about 24 hours ago that I sold out all of my cupcakes in the span of 2 hours at the Strawberry Fest, right outside of Cronie's restaurant in Waupaca. ♥
I had no idea how popular the Strawberry Fest is, and that people were going to adore my cupcakes so much. It feels so good to make people squeal with delight when they look at my cupcakes! One lady asked if they were actually edible. Another asked me if I was selling my portfolio as a book. (I had to say no...even though my dream is to write a book about cupcakes somehow!)
My favorite quote of the day was from a new cupcake friend. She posted it on my Amanda Cupcake Facebook page after the Strawberry Fest. People like her make me love love love what I do.
"I'm in love with Amanda Cupcake's cupcakes!!!! Soooo ooober yummy at the strawberry fest... by far the best strawberry feature showing at the event!!! No joke!!!"
I practiced my premiere cupcake recipe before the Strawberry Fest. I actually thought it was going to be an Amanda original. I thought of it on my own, but then I discovered that many other people have tried this and succeeded as well. ♥
A strawberry pie inside of a cupcake! The one in the picture above is my White Velvet Cupcake.
YUM.
My main inspiration for this is that cake people aren't usually pie people.
And pie people aren't usually cake people.
But wouldn't it be a perfect world if we could combine both in one beautiful dessert?
So yesterday at the Strawberry Fest, the world was perfect.
Cake and Pie people agreed to compromise.
I think they were happy about it.
The cool thing about these surprise pie cakes-is that you can add the little pies to any flavor of cake you wish. I suggest buying the boxed cake mix first to experiment.
But once you get that down, the texture of a cake from scratch is *way better* for the pie inside of a cupcake recipe.

I used ready made pie crust (since I was already making everything else from scratch). I cut the pie crust into small squares. Then I used these adorable little pastry tins to mold the pie crusts! |
How cute do they look after you pop them out of the pastry tin? Hint: use a toothpick or a fork to pop them out of the tin easily. |
Then cover the pie with your cake batter! It might look like this. A pie sandwich! I won't stop you if you decide to eat it right now. But when it is done baking....... |
The possibilities are endless now. You can make swirls. |
Or top your cupcake with another mini pie for the ultimate decadence. |
Strawberry pie inside of a red velvet cupcake is heaven on earth. |
