I normally have my evenings wide open so last night I decided to experiment and make filled cupcakes. I started with a white cake mix and added some thawed frozen strawberries for a little extra flavor.
While the cupcakes were cooking I made a filling with strawberries, cornstarch, sugar and some lemonade Koolaid. The recipe actually called for lemon juice but since I didn't have any I had to improvise. After letting it boil it thickened up and then I let it cool in the refrigerator. I realized it's basically what you would put on strawberry shortcake and way better than the store bought stuff.
After the cupcakes were done and cooled I used the "cone method" to fill them. (I looked it up on the internet since I've never done it before) I frosted them with a vanilla frosting mixed with the lemonade to give it a different flavor.
They were very delicious. As soon as they were done Kyle had 3 and I ate 2. I even had one for breakfast as well :)
