Rockstar Birthday

Chocolate cupcakes with chocolate buttercream and strawberry cupcakes with strawberry butterceam fit for a rockstar. These cupcakes were for a young girls 9th birthday party with a rockstar theme. I used pink, purple and black marshmallow fondant cut out in different size stars.  

Strawberry Buttercream

• 3 large strawberries
• 1 stick butter, at room temp
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 3-4 cups powdered sugar
• 1-3 Tbsp heavy cream (milk also works if you have no cream)

In a food processor, pulse strawberries until pureed. In a mixer beat butter until fluffy, then add in pureed strawberries and vanilla. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time. Add cream until you reach desired consistency. Frosting will be smooth and soft, yet able to hold its shape!
