Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry frosting
Two of our cousins graduated from college earlier this summer. They had a joint graduation party and I volunteered to bring cupcakes. When Aunt J said she wanted 6 dozen, I felt up to the challenge. I made 3 flavors – strawberry, champagne, and Oreo.
These strawberry cupcakes lived up to everything I’ve read about them in various other blogs that I follow. They are very moist and strawberry-ey. They are a perfect summer cupcake.

That looks delicious!! And perfect for the winter weather.

I do know and love cooking
Turkey- istanbul much love to youery nice.
This looks yummy! Can’t wait to try this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I made this tonight for a birthday and it was truly *amazing*! We all loved it and all the kids came back wanting seconds. I followed the recipe exactly and it came out incredibly moist and gooey, deliciously sweet, and spiced. I used half Granny Smith apples and half Gala. I also only had a 9″ pan and by the time I filled it up I still had enough batter (and some extra apple slices left) to fill another 9″ pan. I didn’t have any extra caramel topping, but decided to just bake the batter with the few left over apple slices. Next time I will double the amount of the caramel topping and cut up two more apples and make two full pans worth. It takes a little bit of time to make, but is not a difficult recipe to follow and is oh-so worth it! Thanks for sharing this!

SO glad you enjoyed it! It’s been years since I’ve made this recipe and your comment has me moving it to the top of my to-bake list!
I have been reviewin online more than 4 hours today for windows 7
starter snpc oa toshiba & Pimento Cheese Burger , yet I never found any interesting article like yours.
It is pretty worth enough for me. In my view, if all site owners
and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will be a lot more useful than ever before.
