I've been all about cupcakes recently. The kids & I are going to try a new recipe every week so I will be posting our new favorites and those that are TNT. This particular recipe is from the Cupcakes from the Cake Doctor Book. Read more Enjoy! FYI: These are also yummy & very pretty using strawberry cake mix, strawberry yogurt & pink cotton candy. You could even use strawberry milk in the icing. Of course you will want to use red food coloring instead of the blue. See less
