3. Fold in strawberries and mix frosting further. If frosting is not creaming, add more strawberries.
4. Test to see if frosting can make and hold a stiff peak by taking a spoonful of frosting and turn the spoon upside down. If the frosting holds to the spoon, then it is ready. If not, fold in more powdered sugar.
5. Scoop the frosting into a pastry bag with a large frosting tip. Twist the open end of the pastry bag to push the frosting to the tip.
6. Begin frosting on the outside edge of the cupcake, and work inward to the center of the cupcake.
