Mix Dry with Wet
8
Carefully combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients with a rubber spatula. Fold with spatula just until no lumps remain, but do not overmix. Gently fold in the minced strawberries and its juices until combined.

Freeze
13
Place mixing bowl and beaters in freezer for a couple minutes to get them very cold.
14
Combine
15
In a small bowl, combine gelatin with 2 TB water and allow gelatin to dissolve and soak up the water, about ⏱️ 1 minute. Microwave for ⏱️ 20 seconds to melt gelatin mixture. Set aside.
16
Beat
17
In cold mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, powdered sugar, and the strawberry powder. Beat until it reaches soft peaks. Check that melted gelatin is no longer hot, but a warm liquid if it has firmed up, microwave ⏱️ 10 seconds and stir until just warm.

Continue to beat whipped cream to stiff peaks, while gradually pouring liquid gelatin directly into the beaters. This will stabilize your whipped cream so that it does not become runny and keeps its shape well!
19
Chill and Frost
20
Keep chilled until ready to frost. Frosted cupcakes will keep well at moderate room temperature for several hours, or cover and keep chilled if room temp is too warm.
