Simones Version of a Strawberry Cupcake for Cake day

Today was cake day at my daughters school and as I lay my head on my pillow last night at 11.00pm, I realised that I hadnt made those pesky cupcakes i had intended to make. I vowed to get up early (7.ooam) and make some pink cupcakes for her stall. So I got up and got a packet mix, it doesnt really matter which one, I buy whatever is on special and go from there. I wanted stawberry cupcakes so I made the mix and thought, I could add strawberry essense but I might try out using some strawberry flavouring you put in milk..... so I bought some of my favourite stuff in the world added 3 tablespoons of some powdered strawberry Quik... just to see if it was strawberry enough, and also a dash of fushia food dye from Americolour. It looked very pink! I put them in little pans for the kids and that doubled my yield. I got 24 cupcakes instead of 12 muffins. But i mixed up some baby pink butercream and added some blue cashous. They looked adorable and i hoped that Hailey was happy to take them to the stall.....
