Happy 2012!
Hope you all had a wonderful (safe) New Year’s eve and rang in 2012 in style.
We did it with friends, food, prosecco and cupcakes. Chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes to be exact, and they were every bit as amazing as they sound and look.
Insides filled with strawberries and chocolate, tops covered in strawberry honey whipped cream and finished with a chocolate covered strawberry. It doesn’t get much better than that. This was my first time ever making cupcakes. 2012 just may be the year of them after these. Who needs black eyed peas when you’ve got a bowl filled with cupcake insides and leftover whipped cream? 
How did you ring in the New Year?

They’re beautiful! And boy, that must have been hard digging out the middles of those PERFECT cupcakes…ack! But the end result of the digging is even better looking cupcakes…LOVE the fruit in them and that frosting. NICE!
Those look so amazingly delicious! I don’t have the patience to do something like digging out the middle!! I am sure they tasted amazing! Nice work, Gina! Come bake for me
I know, these were kind of a lot of effort. My patience was definitely tested but having the “insides” to eat along the way helped
Happy new year!
These look delicious
Have you tried Peanut butter whipped cream? BEST frosting ever. Those cupcakes look amazing and totally worth the effort on such a great day!
pb whipped cream?! How have I NOT tried that?
Our new years consisted of an epic Scene-It battle with Brent’s family, followed by a night of catching up with old friends over a couple six-packs of hard cider. Couldn’t ask for much more! Happy 2012!
We bought Apples to Apples and played that last night. Board games are always good for a laugh or two
I wish I could have rang in the new year with you! Those cupcakes look amazing
I love digging out the centers and filling them with surprises 
What an elegant way to ring in the New Year…much tastier than black-eyed peas
Happy 2012!!
Chocolate covered strawberries are the best!! And to put them in a cupcake?! I can’t wait to try these
Your cupcakes look perfect! Glad you liked them!
These look delicious! What a creative cupcake idea. Happy New Year!
OMG! Seriously, you kill me and make me swoon over here all at the same time…..
I wanna stop this grain free diet and jump into a bin full of cupcakes FULL of strawberries and chocolate!!!!!!
xxoo
Those look so good!
We were in bed sleeping by 11…we are such party animals 
Lol!
Those cupcakes look amazing. We went to our friends’ house and had peanut butter cheesecake cupcakes stuffed with peanut butter cups.
These look amazing! I love how you cut the middle out and added strawberries, thats genius! Talk about a calorie saver. I need to scope out the recipe and make these cupcakes!
Yeah, until you eat all the insides with the leftover whipped cream
These look soooo delicious!
Oh my, those cupcakes look heavenly. I love strawberry desserts!
Gorgeous through and through!! This will be great for Valentines day too!!
