These Boozy Strawberry Cupcakes are so Perfect. I die.

I am not kidding, for a little girl’s night-in, these Boozy Strawberry Cupcakes are so perfect. I die.

Not only are they easy to make and kind of fun–but they’re super strawberry-riffic.

Which is the best kind of strawberry ever.

These Boozy Strawberry Cupcakes are so Perfect. I die.

It was a girl’s night-in for me and a girlfriend and, despite a trip to the grocery store earlier in the day, not a treat was to be had, not even a cookie!

So, I thought, why not make something fun?!

Dude, the resulting Boozy Strawberry Cupcakes are so perfect. I die.

They’re easy, fun, and so full of strawberry magic, I might have to make them again.

You know, for another girl’s night-in.

When I’m by myself. LOL!

As with all the best cupcakes, I start with the perfect vanilla cupcake recipe.

It’s simple, easy, and fool-proof.

Then, it’s time to dress it up, boozy strawberry cupcake-style!

I wanted to make this like a poke-cake, where the cupcake had, basically, a filling of liqueur.

And though I could have used strawberry jello, I didn’t want to wait for it to set. I wanted my boozy strawberry cupcakes now now now! LOL!

So, I just combined my strawberry liqueur with corn syrup to thicken it. Worked like magic.

And, of course, to get this magical strawberry mixture into the cupcake, I went with the world’s biggest poke–the piping tip in the middle!

Little tip for you here, if you give a little twist at the end of your poke, it’ll make the little cap of cupcake come out a lot easier.

Now, I added about as much corn syrup/liqueur mixture to each cupcake as it would hold.

That meant waiting a minute for it to soak in.

But you’re welcome to put as little or as much into each of your cupcakes as you’d like–they’re yours.

Once the liqueur had a minute to soak-in really well, I put the cap back on each cupcake.

Now, you don’t HAVE to do this part, but I mean, why waste that little bit of cupcake?!

For a frosting, I thought about trying to mix some of the strawberry liqueur into my favorite canned frosting, but it would make it not stiff enough to stand-up for any amount of time.

So I decided to just go with regular frosting colored pink.

And, dude, that pink frosting…it’s so pretty!

Point of fact: pretty cupcakes with pretty frostings taste better.

And you know what makes a cupcake the most prettiest it can be? Frosting it with a decorating bag and star tip.

If you’re afraid to try this–like I used to be…don’t be.

It’s actually really easy. Just be brave and give it a shot.

Because, if you are a little brave and try throwing frosting onto a cupcake with a star tip?

You’re going to have the prettiest boozy strawberry cupcakes ever.

And, like I said before, prettier cupcakes taste better.

It’s a scientific fact.

So, are you ready, then to make your own boozy strawberry cupcakes? No frosting?!

Oh, well, that’s ok.
