STEPH, Thank you! I am a very visual learner so I need pictures in all my cookbooks. I am glad my pictures are helping you. Don't be afraid! Practice makes perfect. You have to make a cupcake again!

Clara, your cupcakes look amazing! I think raspberry mousse is perfect for the cupcakes.. or on its own.. haha. Your step by step pictures were really helpful, especially the last step after you added the flour. I always have the toughtest part with this step because I tend to undermix. The worst part is, sometimes even with the undermixing (flour pockets here and there), it can still turn out dense (as if it was overmixed). Because of this, I havn’t baked a vanilla cupcake or vanilla cake in a really long time. I’ll definitely have to look at your other cupcake recipes!

BARBARA, Thanks for letting me know! I'll have to remember your chunky fruit piping challenge and maybe cut up my strawberry pieces up smaller. Glad to hear it was yummy!

Well I tried it with the strawberry filling!, YUM, the taste is great but the consistency wasn’t too stiff. Yours looks like the consistency was stiff.
Plus frosting the cupcakes was a little challenging with the strawberry pieces that came through (or tried to at least) through the 1M tip. I have to say though that the taste is very good and I put the left over in a mason jar and plan to reuse for something else very soon! Thanks again for the idea.

Ok, I finally made the Nutella Cupcakes- they look, smell, and taste amazing. I doubled the recipe and now I am going to cheer my neighbors up by sharing the wealth. I put a couple aside for the cubscouts, one for my brother in college…. I should have tripled it! Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing. Now I can move down my list to another one of your yummy cupcakes!
