These homemade strawberry funfetti cupcakes are bursting with flavor AND sprinkles!

Hey friends!  How about some strawberry funfetti cupcakes today??  I think I could eat these cupcakes everyday.. but that’s just me!  They are homemade and full of strawberry goodness.  Once I started making cupcakes from scratch and realized how easy they were, I tossed the box.  This homemade version is 9 million times better then anything at the store and so moist because of the fresh strawberries. 

Have I sold you them yet?  If not – they are filled with sprinkles!  Which makes everything better, of course. 

Now these cupcakes are not blazing pink because I didn’t add any food coloring to them.  The fresh strawberries give them a nice pink tint without having to use artificial dyes.  WHICH I LOVE!  I’m not anti-food coloring but we try to avoid it when possible.  So if I can make a homemade pink cupcake without dye – I’m there! 

I’ve made these cupcakes many times too.  We’ve had them for Ryley’s birthday and I’ve made them for friends parties as well.  They always go over well.  And by that I mean they DISAPPEAR.  People love them.  This batch was made as test run for one of my friends little girls birthday party this month.  The recipe makes 2 dozen.  With 4 kids and 2 parents around at the time we put a nice dent into them but I ended up sending more then a dozen home with her. 

So yes.  They are tasted tested and approved by my exclusive tasting committe.  Aka my kiddos and their friends.  Enjoy!
