It's February and that means that Valentine's Day is right around the corner.  And nothing says Happy Valentine's Day like chocolate and strawberries.
These cupcake really are amazing and they taste just as good as they look.  If you want to impress your Valentine with a special treat this Valentine's Day - I recommend chocolate covered strawberry cupcakes.

There are many different ways to make a cupcake, but one of the most popular is to use strawberry filling. This type of filling is made with fresh strawberries, sugar, and cornstarch. The cornstarch helps to thicken the filling so that it is not runny.
