Princess Strawberry Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

     Working with Pea Protein was a first for me, and I "gotsta" say it was way better than expected!!!  Let's face it, anything Strawberry has to be wonderful!  Vitacost sent me some Earthblends Strawberry Pea Protein and so of course I had to create Princess Strawberry Cakes with Cream Cheese Frosting.  It's an unspoken culinary law that all things Strawberry must be topped with some form of Cream Cheese.  This recipe makes 12 cakes with 2 Tablespoons frosting for 112 calories, 6.5g net carbs and 11.4g protein.  Strawberries ain't just for Summer  ;)
