My regular 12 count muffin pan is missing in action at the moment so I cut the recipe in half and made 24 mini cupcakes and 6 regular sized cupcakes. The only liners I had for the mini muffin pan were brown and I thought that would look weird, so I just decided to make them without liners.
These cupcakes were a hit and very good. The fresh strawberries in the cakes and in the frosting gave them such a delicious strawberry flavor. These will definitely be made again in my house!

**hiding in the corner** I'm sorry I've taken your muffin pan hostage... and I feared that one day you'd decide to make cupcakes only to realize it wasn't near by - lol. Your cupcakes look fabulous regardless... and I hope you plan on making them again soon so you can use a full muffin pan to enjoy their yummy goodness the way they were meant to be tasted. :)
I love that you can see the chunks of strawberries in the frosting
Wow though look great I've been thinking about making strawberry cupcakes all week.
