Today we are sharing these Luscious Strawberry Mousse Filled Cupcakes. They are filled with a strawberry mousse filling that is so decadent you get a taste of heaven in each bite.

These cupcakes make my heart sing. Start with a Vanilla Cupcake add some strawberry mousse filling, it is just what you need to make a simple recipe come alive. You can slice up a strawberry on top or maybe even dip it in chocolate to add a little pizzazz to your cupcakes.

Adding an extra step and filling to these cupcakes, may take a little longer but they will be worth the wait. If you love comfort food like I do this recipe will become one of your favorites.

Cupcakes are a fun and creative way to make your dessert or event extra special. You can take one vanilla recipe and make it the base of many different flavors.

Adding fruits and toppings to the top of your cupcakes can change it up a bit and really bring out the flavors.

Filled cupcakes are the best and can take a plain cupcake and push it over the edge.

This is the tool I use to fill my cupcakes.
