Sprinkle's Strawberry Cupcakes
Please tell me you've had Sprinkles cupcakes- they are one of the best LA cupcake eateries (also great? Kiss my Bundt, especially red velvet. They say they're the "first," but I have no idea who came first. My first experience with fancy cupcakes was Magnolia Bakery in New York- and I even had to wait in line. The cupcakes were sweet, teeth-achingly sweet. That killed the fancy cupcake scene for almost a year until someone introduced me to Sprinkles and the spark was rekindled. They are deliciously moist and not-too-sweet, not so tender that they come apart as you peel the paper wrapper.
The recipe for the strawberry cupcake is posted online at Martha Stewart's website. Sprinkles also sells cupcake mixes, but they're $15 I think? You should just make these instead- there are actual strawberries in the recipe.
Word of caution: if you are using frozen strawberries, make sure you drain them well for the frosting. I didn't do that and ended up with frosting that looked curdled. Delicious, but curdled.
