This past weekend, I had the pleasure to bake for a friend’s son’s birthday. Everytime I make a new cupcake, I have a new favorite.
Pictured above are Chocolate Filled Cupcakes and Butterfinger Cupcakes, I shared the recipes with you here.
My new favorite in this group, are the Strawberry Poke Cupcakes. I was inspired by The American Homemaker, during my blog hopping on the Ultimate Blog Party. I had been wanting to try poke cakes for awhile, and this was the perfect opportunity.
I started first by baking white cupcakes, then after they cooled, I poked holes in the top with a fork.
I then mixed strawberry jello and carefully poured it over each cupcake. You should put the cupcakes on a cookie sheet with a edge, because the jello overflows quite a bit. Then, place them in the frig for a few hours to chill.
I frosted them with whipped topping and added a chocolate dipped strawberry on some and 3 jelly beans on the others.
These cupcakes are very light and refreshing. The perfect Spring treat.

On the poke cupcakes, I think my 5 year old daughter would love the poke part. That sounds like fun!

Your cupcakes looks wonderful.
My grandma always used to make poke cake for every family event. I should make these sometime!
Will you please move in to my house and make me cupcakes while I am still pregnant and have an excuse to pig out? Those look great!

Yum!! I looove cupcakes, and those look so inviting
As much as I don’t want to, I’m forced to click the red x and never look back. You see, I’m on a diet, and must drag myself away from those delicious looking pictures or I’ll end up in the kitchen baking some for myself.
I love jello poke cake too, especially in the summer. The chocolate covered strawberry on top sounds delish, I will have to try that this summer.
Those look so yummy! Thanks for sharing. I found your link on Mom Dot. I hope you have a great day!
