Each cupcake is lovingly baked to perfection. It features a moist and fluffy vanilla base infused with the sweet, tangy flavour of ripe strawberries. This delightful combination of flavours creates a light and airy texture that melts in your mouth, making it an irresistible choice for any occasion.

Topping off this delightful creation is a generous swirl of rich cream cheese icing, expertly crafted to provide a creamy, tangy contrast to the cupcake’s sweetness. The icing is smooth and luscious and beautifully complements the strawberry notes, enhancing the overall flavour. Each cupcake is adorned with a whole strawberry perched on top, artfully designed to resemble a festive Santa hat. This charming presentation adds a whimsical touch, making it a perfect centrepiece for holiday gatherings or a delightful surprise for loved ones.

Gently core the center of each cupcake and fill it with strawberry filling. 

In a mixing bowl mix whipped cream into soft peaks. In another bowl beat cream cheese and confectioners sugar until light and fluffy. Add whipped cream, and vanilla and mix on low speed until combined. Use medium star tip # 823 and
