"These are the last cupcakes for at least a year" I said to my BFF. She got up from her bed at 9:30 PM and came to pick them up. She later text "Amazing". They are. The cake is velvety and the frosting is a sweet strawberry swirl. These were ALMOST made about a week ago for my friend CG's Confessions of a Shopaholic book club party (I read the book years ago so I made my wonderful BF watch the 10AM matinee movie with me which he admitted to enjoying). I had painstakingly finished separating the egg whites (8) when the phone rang. BF cut his fingers on glass and I had to rush him to the ER. Yesterday as I began to separate the eggs, I asked him to please be safe (organic eggs are expensive!). He and the cupcakes are well. They baked for 17 min (rotate at 9). The recipe made 36 cupcakes- 3 dozen instead of the 2 stated in the Handbook. (It's a Biblical miracle! Jesus multiplies fish, I cupcakes). All the neighborhood kids were fed.
115 to Go!

I give it an 8.5. The frosting was the best part. It was light and fluffy, but the most impressive quality about it was the intensity of strawberry flavor. I kept wondering. I also heard my mother and BF ask this aloud, what you used for the flavor...fresh or frozen strawberries? It seems more strawberry-y than even real strawberries maybe. On the night of the pickkup, the cakee was VERY good! A tad more substantial or heavier than traditional angel food cake. The next day it was a little drier as expected and you warned. BF loved the lightness of both the frosting and the cake, I think he appreciated the low calorie content of the air within the cake: I think he liked this one, but didn't love it. And he wanted to clarify that it's only because he doesn't care for fruity desserts.
