Strawberry Cupcakes

Happy Friday everyone!

Since I kind of dropped the ball on the Football Friday recipe last week, I decided to wrap up the series with one last recipe today. Auburn doesn't play tomorrow, but we do have plans to go to a baby shower tomorrow night. These strawberry cupcakes are pretty easy and are always a hit. They are the closest things I have found to a bakery strawberry cake- minus the $$. They are pink (obviously) so they are great to celebrate the birth of this little girl!

1 box white cake mix

1 (3 oz.) box strawberry jello

Mix cake mix and jello in mixing bowl. Put strawberries in food processor (or blender), reserving 3/4 c. for later use in icing. Add strawberries, oil, and eggs to cake and Jello mixture. Beat about 3 min. Bake at 350* for about 20 min. Cool in pans for 15 mins. Cupcakes should be completely cool before icing.

Have a wonderful weekend my friends!
