Strawberry balsamic cupcake



Recipe adapted from: Annie's Eats

Thoughts:
1. Didn't know strawberries and balsamic form such a nice combination together!
2. The swiss meringue buttercream didn't thicken up as Annie's did... I think partly was because the strawberry puree was sitting at room temperature for too long (we switched to make dinner instead =(), and the puree became watery, and silly me added all of the puree instead of a little at a time.  So it became very wet and watery.  Yummy though!
3. Would love to make more cupcakes next time and try the swiss meringue buttercream again.  BUT!! as always without the stand mixer this recipe would be too difficult to make by hand.... boooooo
