Equipment

1 cupcake pan
36 cupcakes liners
1 Hand Mixer
1 large bowl
1 medium bowl
1 batter scooper

Ingredients

16 oz angel food cake mix
1 1/3 cup water
32 oz vanilla frosting (2 cans)
8 oz Whipped Topping
2 lbs strawberries (you'll need approximately 36 to make sure each cupcake has one strawberry)
18 oz blueberries (you'll need 108 blueberries if you want three berries on each cupcake.)

Instructions

Angel Food Cake Cupcakes

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
Line a muffin pan with cupcake liners (36 total).
Add the angel food cake mix from the box and water to a large bowl.
Beat on low for 30 seconds, then medium for 1 minute.
Fill each of the cupcake liners ¾ of the way with cake batter.
Bake the angel food cake cupcakes for 10-12 minutes, or until the tops are a bit golden.
Let the cupcakes cook completely before decorating.

Frosting

Add the two tubs of vanilla frosting and the whipped topping to a medium bowl. Stir until combined. Refrigerate for 1 hour before decorating.

Fruit

Rinse and dry the strawberries and blueberries. Cut the green top off the strawberries, and slice into 4 pieces. Set aside until ready to decorate.

Decorate

Add a frosting tip to a piping bag, and fill the bag with the frosting.
Moving in a clockwise direction, start on one outer edge of the cupcake and move in a circle around the cupcake toward the center of the cupcake.
Fan out one whole sliced strawberry (4 pieces) upside down - pointy end up in the frosting towards the back of the cupcake.
Arrange 3 blueberries in front.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

If I have a few extra minutes I always like to make homemade frosting when using boxed cake mixes. Try my vanilla buttercream or my Cool Whip Frosting.
