    Instructions for how to make Strawberry Filling Cupcakes

    You are going to begin by baking your cupcakes according to the package directions. Let them cool completely to the side as you are getting the strawberry filling ready.

    In a medium saucepan on the stove, add together your fresh chopped up strawberries and the sugar. Bring this strawberry sugar mixture to a boil over medium heat. Be sure to stir it constantly. Reduce the heat and continue to boil as the strawberries break down and begin to soften up.

    Combine the corn starch and water in a separate container. Mix it up well until the corn starch is completely dissolved. Stir the cornstarch mixture into the strawberries as they boil to thicken this strawberry filling up. Heat for 1 minute. Remove the strawberry filling from the stove and stir in the butter until it is completely melted.

    Set your strawberry filling aside to cool for about 15 minutes on the counter and then move to the refrigerator to cool completely.

    Place filling into a piping bag fitted with a metal tip. This is important as the tip needs to be on the bag so that it's stiff and can puncture the cupcake. Pipe the strawberry filling into the cupcake.

    Frost the cupcake and add sprinkles!
