So....Thanks to Casey (http://caseymini.blogspot.com/) for suggesting we use electrical caps as cupcake molds, Thanks to Debbie (http://debbiestinytreasures.blogspot.com/) for reminding me I wanted to try and make a mold (she made truffles!), and Thanks to Jody (http://www.minileapsandbounds.blogspot.com/) for reminding us that strawberries are meant to be big!! Not to shabby for my first go, huh ladies?!

Strawberry Tarts???
At least that's what I think they look like.....some kind of tart with a scoop of ice cream and a big strawberry on top.......
...........and of course you know that you can't ever just make one!!! I tell you, though, after the third strawberry or so, I was ready to be done!
I had read Casey's blog a couple weeks back about making cupcakes and kinda went from there. I won't go into detail, she did a much better job explaining the how to's, look for it under her food label. I didn't have any of the molding stuff, so I used some scrap clay for the mold. Once I made the mold, I baked it, then began sticking pieces of clay into the little holes, and desperately tried to pluck them out. Of course I don't have a lick of cornstarch, talc powder, or any other similar substance on hand, so I ended up using a LOT of water instead. Still was tricky to get them out of the holes, but I managed. I suggest investing in some of that molding stuff!!!
