"These cupcakes are a delicious and flavorful variation on the standard vanilla. Once you create your strawberry puree, you use it as the liquid portion of the cake, translating your vanilla cake into a farm-fresh strawberry delight. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before folding into the frosting." —Tracy Wilk
