Double Berry Cupcakes

These double berry cupcakes include a blend of raspberry and strawberry puree in both the cupcakes and the frosting.

Today we are supporting the Cook for the Cure campaign! Cook for the Cure gives people who love cooking (us!) a way to support a meaningful cause. It raises funds and awareness for the fight against breast cancer and there are so many ways for you to get involved.

You can host your own Cook for the Cure fundraiser using a Cook for the Cure Party Kits (funded by KitchenAid). Invite your family, friends or colleagues over for a dinner party, barbecue, office party – really, any kind of get together. Instead of wine or flowers, ask your guests to bring a donation to Komen.

KitchenAid also hosts cooking classes, auctions and special events where 100 percent of the money raised goes straight to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Awesome, right?

If you’re looking for appliances, check out hhgregg. You can purchase Cook for the Cure KitchenAid products at hhgregg! It’s as easy as that and there are some really cool pink ones available, like this stand mixer.

Double Berry Cupcakes

We wanted to jump in and get involved right away so we are joining the 10,000 cupcakes campaign today.

These double berry cupcakes are easy to make, delicious and full of that gorgeous pink color that symbolizes the breast cancer fight. Both the cupcakes and the frosting include a blend of strawberry and raspberry puree and we topped our cupcakes with some pink sprinkles for that extra touch of pink!
