I made strawberry and cream cupcakes for my parents' wedding anniversary on Sunday.
And didn't take a picture. Oops.
Below is how they more or less looked anyway. Just with less teacups.

Mum requested them specially.
They're just plain cakes (not even vanilla) with half a spooful of jam baked into them. Then cut a slice from the top, load up with whipped cream and top with cut strawberries.
Pretty to look at, simple to make.

If I make again (possibly - the issue of fresh cream does mean all 24 need to be eaten in one day!) I'll forget the faff with the jam going into the cake mix. Very messy.
I'll just cut a slightly deeper well in the cake when cooked and put it in. Also, putting the "lid" back on means the same amount of cream has more impact.

Link to BBC recipe if anyone fancies them.
