I cheated and added strawberry extract and some fresh sliced strawberries to a premade white cake mix for these little beauties.

I used this recipe to make a cream cheese icing-

1 lb (two 8 ounce packages) cream cheese
4 Cups powdered sugar
2 Tsp vanilla
3 Tsp heavy cream
3 Tsp lemon juice

Directions:
Make sure the cream cheese is soft and pliable, but still slightly cool. Open the packages and drop all of the cream cheese into a large mixing bowl. Use a mixer and mix until creamy and smooth.
Add confectioner’s sugar and mix again, until creamy and smooth, and then add in rest of ingredients.
Mix well until you have a smooth, soft icing.

Only instead of vanilla flavouring I used real orange extract, and instead of lemon juice I used orange juice concentrate.

It totally tasted like a fruit creamsicle cupcake.

If you dont want to use a mix, and you want make your batter from scraneverbashfulwithbutter.comhttp://www.neverbashfulwithbutter.comtch, go right ahead, just add strawberry extract instead of vanilla and add some sliced or chopped strawberries.
