Strawberry Cupcakes

A delicious cupcake idea for summertime! This easy to make Strawberry Cupcakes Recipe uses a doctored cake mix and is topped with strawberry buttercream frosting!

Strawberry Cupcakes

I did use a box cake mix for these cupcakes – but not a strawberry mix.

I just used a white cake mix and spruced it up a bit. Then I topped it with strawberry flavored buttercream icing.

These would be fun cupcakes to use for Valentine’s Day or for summer time. However, if you are like me, you could eat them anytime.

The cupcakes have just the right amount of strawberry flavor to them. It isn’t overpowering at all.

  3. Add the strawberry extract, salt, and 2 tablespoons of milk. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.

Notes

I added just a touch of pink coloring gel to give it a slight pink look.
