Wimbledon is coming up in a few weeks and if that’s not a good enough excuse for strawberry and cream cupcakes then I don’t know what is. The sponge for these cupcakes is flavoured with strawberry jam which gives it a subtly sweet strawberry flavour.

You can decorate with the strawberries and whipped cream however you want, You can see a few different examples in the photo above. I did a mix of ‘butterfly’ cakes (which have a teaspoon of jam beneath the cream, and swirls of cream topped with strawberry pieces.

Whip the cream using a stand or hand mixer. Using a piping bag with a star tip, pipe the cream onto the cupcakes and top with strawberry pieces. To make the butterfly cakes slice the top of the cupcake off and cut into two. Fill the hole with a little jam and piped cream and place the spoon tops back on at angles. Finish with a piece of strawberry.
