Strawberry Guava Hello Kitty Cupcakes

July 25th, 2011 by justJENN

The Baby loves Guava Jam on toast, it’s his favorite morning breakfast. At the market I happened upon a flavor I hadn’t seen before, a mashup of guava and strawberry! The sweet, floral fragrance reminds me of Hawaii and I thought it would be a perfect filling for cupcakes. I also went the extra mile and swirled into a luscious cream cheese frosting.

To top it all off, I found some cute Hello Kitty cookies. You’ll find no sweeter cupcake in all the land.
