Adrian,(or “Bubba” as our youngest grandson, 2 year old Carter, calls our newest grandson), had his own cupcake tree for the children’s table in the wedding garden. When asked what flavor of cupcakes he would like, without a moment’s hesitation he chose his MiMi’s Strawberry Cupcakes, a cake recipe her mother baked when she was a girl.

Recipe Rated: GOURMET EASY* (requires a few odd-ball ingredients)
