Ingredients
1 box white cake mix, plus ingredients called for on box
20 strawberries, trimmed
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
3 1/2 c. powdered sugar, divided
1/4 c. lemonade or freshly squeezed lemon juice
4 drops red food coloring
Lemon Slices, for garnish
Strawberry slices, for garnish
Preparation
Step 1Preheat oven to 350° and line 2 muffin tins with 20 cupcake liners. Step 2In a large bowl, prepare cake batter according to package directions. Pour batter into prepared liners, then place a strawberry into each. Bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Let cool completely. Step 3Make lemonade frosting: In a large bowl using a hand mixer, beat together butter and half of the powdered sugar until smooth. Beat in the lemonade and the rest of the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in enough red food coloring to make pink (4 drops worked well for us). Step 4Using a large star tip, pipe cooled cupcakes with lemonade frosting. Garnish with a lemon slice, a strawberry slice, and a decorative straw.
