Fresh Strawberry Muffins

Today I made fresh strawberry muffins from scratch for the first time. Actually, this is the first time I've made muffins of any kind. I bought a bunch of strawberries from Costco, but Emily didn't like them as much as I thought she would, so I needed to figure out a way to use them all. Last night I made a strawberry daiquiri. Yummy, but didn't actually need many strawberries. So then I thought about adding strawberries to a cupcake, but that led to the muffin idea.

I like the way they look, with the crumbly top. And they taste good too. I was worried I cooked them too long, but they're nice and moist in the middle. I need to be careful - someone may get the impression that I'm domestic.

More cupcakes

Today I went to the Mothers Day Cupcake cooking class at Sur La Table. It was so fun. Here are my creations. A devils food cupcake with chocolate frosting decorated with "Oma" for Emily's grandma, a strawberry cupcake with strawberry buttercream, and a coconut cupcake with coconut frosting and a fondant bee. All yummy!
