Yum Alert: Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting

Written by Ashley

Strawberry Extravaganza. Cupcake Style.

Strawberries are filled with vitamins, heart healthy antioxidants, and flavor. Infuse them in to a cupcake, and it’s big, flavor-ridden good times as far as I’m concerned. Chocolate’s fine & all, but give me a strawberry cookie, strawberry lollipop, strawberry flavored anything and I’m a happy gal.
