- Pip on some of your whipped topping with a cake decorating bag and tip or with a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
- Remove leave and stems from your strawberries, cut the top off so you have a flat base.
- Place one strawberry, flat base down, on each cupcacke.
- Top your strawberry with a bit of whipped topping and sprinkle with a light dusting of powdered sugar if desired.
A Dusting of Sweetness
We like to add a touch of confectioners sugar to our mini Santa hat cupcakes to look a bit like snow. I would suggest adding the confectioner’s sugar right before serving as after a bit it will get absorbed into the strawberry and mini cupcakes.
