I followed the recipe and the cupcakes were too heavy and dense. They were also rather bland. The color also was not appealing. I think it might have been better if i did not add the recommended 1/4 cup water. In any case, waste of strawberries. next time, i'll make white cake mix as directed on box. Put pink food coloring in basic white icing, sugar some strawberries and put a slice on top. This way the kids will like them, and i will still have the strawberries for smoothies....

My brother wanted strawberry cupcakes for his birthday, but he wanted to have the kind that's straight out of the box, but I wouldn't hear of it. So I searched for the best that I could find that was made for scratch. Even though this recipe uses white cake mix, it sounded to good to pass up. Making the cake was pretty easy, and the frosting was a little tricky but worth it.
Any way, the taste of the cupcakes were AMAZING!! They tasted like the way I would think strawberry cupcake should taste. My brother loved that, but his only complaint was 'the frosting tasted too real.' Lol. Personally I think that's a compliment. the cake was more moist and had a pretty natural color. The frosting had a nice and fluffy texture. It almost melts in your mouth. I am so proud of the way everything came out. I can't wait to make them again. I believe this cake was very simple and tasted authentic. This is permanently going to be my go-to strawberry cake recipe.

The cupcakes were good. I thought the icing was too sweet, but my son liked it. If I make the icing again I would cut the recipe in half and you don't need the food coloring. It came out a nice pale pink by itself.

cupcakes are great...I used 1c strawberries sprinkled with a little sugar, 1/2 pkg (4oz crm cheese, and 1 can fluffy white bought frosting and this made a great frosting...yum

Loved the cupcake, hated the frosting...but my friends kids and my husband seem to love them so it could possibly be me. I think next time I will try to a strawberry butter cream instead.

These cupcakes were very good! The cake was moist and had a nice flavor, and the frosting was ok. I think I prefer using creamy frosting versus 7 minute frosting, but either way, my family enjoyed them very much!

They are fun to make and the recipe is easy, they look pretty on the plate. I think that cupcakes plus the icing are too sweet and stawberry flavor is disappearing in the cake and the frosting. Way toooo much sugar.

OMG! What a great and easy recipe! I made the regular size cupcakes and cooked them in 20 minutes. I would half the frosting next time- I had so much that I used it for a covering a batch of brownies. So yummy. Family and Friends of all ages LOVED them!

Awesome...amazing...fantastic! Baked these for my family and friends and now I have them wrapped around my finger! Made a few tweaks of course (used a different bitter for the frosting and also used some frosting to make a complimentary whipped cream but all in all...a great flavor. Be sure to use super-ripe strawberries. Luckily, my family and I went strawberry picking at a local farm a few days before I found this recipe. Delicious.

Made these for my daughters 3rd birthday...LOVED them! Not only did they taste great but they were the perfect size for the toddlers! I used extra strawberries about 2 cups of puree with the 1 cake mix. I also made cream cheese icing, those tasted great as well!
