Strawberry lemonade has always been my favorite Summertime drink. Lemonade by itself is refreshing but strawberry lemonade was always a special treat for us growing up. This inspired my latest dessert recipe, Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes! They’re lemon cupcakes with homemade strawberry frosting.

These cupcakes are made from a Duncan Hines Lemon Supreme mix and topped with a homemade strawberry frosting. They’re sweet and tart at the same time. My kids loved them and they would never know the cake mix isn’t from scratch. Plus it was easy to make and perfect for our afternoon picnic.

You could top it with blueberry to give it a red white and blue theme for the Fourth of July. Another fun idea is to add the sparkling candles on top. My kids had fun blowing them out and watching them relight after I finished photographing them.

Made these cupcakes/strawberry frosting last evening. They are delicious. The frosting is not to sweet its soooo good. It’s actually one of the best frostings I’ve ever tasted. Was wondering what I would do to make a frosting similar to this one but without the berries. I would like to use a frosting of this consistently for all my cakes!
