Valentines Cupcakes with Strawberries

These are a cupcake recipe for Valentines Day with fresh fruits.

These cupcakes can be chocolate or ginger recipe. They are for those of us who prefer the flavours of fresh fruit to frostings. I prepared some fresh fruit, strawberries and grapes. The strawberries are like fresh fruit hearts just perfect for Valentines Day. These would be the perfect end to a meal for two.

You could add some fresh cream, natural yogurt, vanilla ice cream or creme fraiche to the platter. A coulis of strawberry or raspberries would be delicious to top this off. Presentation is key to this. Prepare all ingredients and then I start in the centre and work outwards creating symmetry. Leave spaces for the creams to add just before serving. I used rosemary leaves and fresh flowers from the garden.
