    I was afraid to make these after reading some of the reviews, but I'm glad I tried them. The cake has a mild flavor (not terribly sweet and fruity and a beautiful texture, and the frosting is amazing. I didn't experience any of the problems others noted. The only mild deviations I made were baking at 325 because I used dark non-stick pans and I used dry instead of extra-dry champagne. I garnished the tops with a half a strawberry. Next time (and there will definitely be a next time I will halve the frosting recipe, however, since it made twice what I needed to generously pipe onto the cupcake.

    The first batch I made I was not satisfied. The second batch I changed up the recipe a little. With the melted butter and vegetable oil in the recipe if you bake them 20 minutes they become to dark on the bottoms. They are also difficult to peel off cupcake liner. Did not use simple syrup the second time. Instead I just brushed the champagne over the tops(they received a good soaking. The melted marshmallows in the frosting not a good idea. Second batch I had to omit it all together.Please to say the second time I was pleased. The batter is thin and when baked they are dense. I"m sure I can get these cupcakes to a better quality.

    Made these cupcakes.. Not much strawberry taste in cupcake
    Frosting was alittle strange.. Marshmellow got hard when put in whipping cream! I added cream cheese and put more strawberry puree in... and used powdered sugar...Much better
    Probably wont make again....

    The cupcake alone was bland. I even added in 1/4th extra cup of strawberry puree. I couldn't even taste the simple syrup after the cupcakes were put together. I did top it off with a fresh strawberry and it gave the cupcake as a whole a good burst of flavor. The best part of this cupcake is definitely the frosting. I'm sharing these cupcakes with a few people so we'll see how they like them. I don't think I'll make these again.

    I just made these and garnished them with finely sliced strawberries. They are a fabulous treat. These cupcakes DO NOT taste like Strawberry cake. They are a quite different flavor. If you do not expect that flavor, I think you will be happy with the final product.

    I thought these cupcakes were great! I liked that the flavour of the cupcake was not overwhelming, it was nice and light, not too sweet. Different from most of the other usual super sweet in-your-face cupcakes. Also the frosting was amazing. I had lots of leftover so I used it on chocolate banana cupcakes afterwards and it was fantastic on those too.

    Ok, after reading the other reviews I tweaked mine a bit and they were AMAZING! We used a Moscato champagne (its really sweet, pureed the strawberries in 1/4 cup of apple juice, put and extra 1/4 cup of the puree in the batter and only baked them for 18 min (toothpick came out clean.
    Making these few adjustments made these cupcakes taste incredible and everyone enjoyed them.
    The frosting needed no adjustment as the other reviews stated, it is yummy the way it is.
