My director fiddled around with the Mini Cake recipe and adjusted it to fit in with HWC. I helped her demo it at our last meeting and it tasted so good! I thought I would share it with you all.
Cakes
2tbsp butter
2tbsp sugar
3-4 medium to large strawberries
1 pkg 9oz yellow cake mix
1 egg
1 8 oz container sour cream
2-3 tbsp (or more if you want) strawberry glaze (the gel kind found in produce for strawberry shortcake)

Glaze and garnish
2tbsp butter
1/4 cup sugar
1/4-1/2 cup strawberry glaze

Brush Prep Bowls with butter and sprinkle with sugar like Lemon recipe but then use Egg Slicer Plus to cut strawberries and place 2-3 in bottom of each Prep Bowl. Mix cake ingredients in bowl, if the batter isn't pink enough, add more glaze. Pour into Prep Bowls and microwave. We did 4 1/2 minutes and they turned out perfect.
For glaze, microwave butter, sugar and glaze in batter bowl until smooth and pour over cakes.

These cakes tasted so good and really go along with the HWC pink theme. I hope you all enjoy!!!:D
 
Yummy! I'm going to have to try this one. Probably tastes like strawberry shortcakes.
 
I made the lemon cakes for my meeting a couple weeks ago and tinted them pink for HWC. They were really cute! 2 drops of coloring tinted the batter a nice pink. I also massaged the lemon slices with a drop of coloring in a bag to tint them. But you could leave them yellow (they make the cakes look a little too anatomically correct, if you know what I mean, when the lemon slices are pink).

I hope you like them, we thought they were really good. You can add as much or as little glaze to the cake mix as you want to get the color right.

You could totally call them Pink Lemonade mini-cakes!
 
Yummy, these sound so good in strawberry! I loved the lemon flavor too. I can't wait to try it.
 
is there a name brand for the strawberry glaze? Or something else we can use? I can't seem to find it! Thanks!

Frequently Asked Questions

What ingredients do I need to make HWC Mini Glazed Strawberry Cakes?

To make HWC Mini Glazed Strawberry Cakes, you will need the following ingredients: fresh strawberries, heavy whipping cream (HWC), sugar, flour, baking powder, salt, eggs, and vanilla extract. You may also want to have powdered sugar for the glaze.

How do I prepare the strawberries for the mini cakes?

Start by washing the strawberries thoroughly. Remove the stems and slice them into thin pieces. You can sprinkle a little sugar on the sliced strawberries to enhance their sweetness and let them sit for a few minutes to release their juices.

What is the baking time and temperature for the mini cakes?

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the mini cakes for about 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.

How do I make the glaze for the mini cakes?

To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and a small amount of heavy whipping cream until you reach your desired consistency. You can adjust the thickness by adding more cream or powdered sugar as needed. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled mini cakes before serving.

Can I use other fruits instead of strawberries for this recipe?

Yes, you can definitely use other fruits! Raspberries, blueberries, or sliced peaches would work well as alternatives. Just make sure to adjust the sugar based on the sweetness of the fruit you choose.
