Strawberries Galore Cupcake!

The seasons are changing and it's time to spice up the summer season with some festive fruit cupcakes! I plan on trying some orange dream cupcakes next! However, these strawberry cupcakes are delicious! I wasn't a huge fan of the frosting so next time I make them I will find a different recipe but these were great! I found this recipe on My Baking Addiction. If you haven't been to this site yet, do it! It's wonderful!
