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!
