British strawberry season has begun! Hurrah! It just wouldn’t be summer without them would it? We’re excited for picnics with full punnets of strawberries, fancy afternoon teas with sweet strawberry jam on scones or delicious strawberry ice cream at BBQs.

To celebrate we whipped up this Eton Mess cupcake using home made strawberry preserve, buttercream flavoured with natural strawberry essence and vanilla extract, and some lovely sliced strawberries! We also topped the treat with a hand made meringue! Yum!
