Hi all! I know a few of you loved my banana milkshake flavoured cupcakes I did a while back, and I thought that I would do a strawberry milkshake version too!
I’ve been eating a lot of strawberries recently, I think I might turn into one. But before I do, I will give you the recipe to these bad boys.
These are strawberry milkshake flavoured, with Baileys Strawberries and Cream buttercream to top them with.
I know some of you don’t drink alcohol, but you can always replace the Baileys with milk if you’d like.
To make them taste like strawberry milkshake, I added some Strawberry Milkshake powder. Be careful to check the ingredients, but for mine I used Nesquik as it says gluten free on the label over here in the UK.
