Jump to recipe!

Happy Cupcake Tuesday! I’m so excited you are here! Looking for a cupcake recipe? Be sure to check out the Cupcake Heaven page, there are over 200 cupcake recipes and decorating ideas!

Every time I pick up a strawberry I can’t help but be consumed by a flood of memories. One of my goals when I started Hoosier Homemade was to create and share memories of my life with my family of four men. As you well can imagine it can be difficult at times to sway the male species towards that end but every now and then they will surprise me. Some of our greatest memories as a family come from when the boys were young and their grandparents were still alive and the times we shared Strawberry Shortcake with fresh strawberries from the garden.

So as you make these Strawberry Shortcake Cupcakes I hope that you can build memories with your family you will cherish as much as we do.

I have to give credit to my parents for instilling in me the passion and creativity I have, my mother loved flowers and shared that with many people. My father loved his yard and garden, especially his strawberries. We would spend lots of time with them, almost daily if truth be told and the boys loved every minute. Especially the time they would spend with PaPa helping him with his strawberry patch.
