Soft, delicate, and touched with the sweetness of fresh strawberries, these cupcakes feel like a June afternoon in bloom. Their tender crumb and swirls of strawberry buttercream make them as lovely to serve as they are to savour.

Searing the Beef

To make your own buttermilk, combine 1 tablespoon (15 ml) white vinegar with enough milk to make 1 cup (240 ml). Let sit for 5 minutes before using.
Ensure strawberries are at room temperature before mashing for the best flavour and colour.
Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

There is something timeless about a strawberry cupcake made with real fruit. These Garden Strawberry Cupcakes capture the brightness of early summer with a soft tender crumb and the faint perfume of vanilla. Finished with a swirl of strawberry buttercream and a single fresh berry, they are simple, elegant, and meant to be shared, the kind of dessert that feels like sunshine on a plate.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
