  7. Once cooled, use a piping bag or small knife to fill each cupcake center with strawberry jam.
  8. Beat butter until creamy. Add powdered sugar gradually.
  9. Mix in vanilla and heavy cream until smooth and fluffy.
  10. Divide frosting into three bowls: one plain (white/vanilla), one mixed with mango purée (yellow-orange), and one mixed with strawberry purée (pink-red).
  11. Add each color side-by-side in a piping bag to create a “sunset swirl” effect.
  12. Pipe frosting onto cupcakes in swirls.
