Guilty pleasures

I "borrowed" this recipe from KUTV's recipe posts.

Strawberry Cupcakes

1 box vanilla cake mix, prepare as directed
2 pints strawberries
2 ½ tsp strawberry extract
1 can vanilla frosting
½ cup blueberries
Prepare cake mix as directed, adding eggs and oil as per cake mix directions.
Stir in 1 ½ teaspoons of strawberry extract, and stir in 1 pint strawberries, sliced and cut into bite size pieces.
Bake cupcakes as directed.
Add 1 teaspoon strawberry extract into store bought vanilla frosting.
Frost cupcakes and top with remaining strawberries and blueberries for decoration.

Tip of the week: take shower curtains like this and hang in your closet. Use for belts and purses. Brilliant!!
