in the kitchen This year before you freeze your strawberry bounty from the Florida Strawberry Festival, why not try this delightful dessert. This delicious and easy treat did not take long at all for the kids to make and it took even less time for the family to devour it.
Strawberry Cupcakes • 1 package white cake mix • 1 small package strawberry gelatin • 4 egg whites
• ⅓ cup vegetable or canola oil • 1 cup fresh or frozen strawberries • ½ cup water
• ⅓ cup butter • 2 ½ cups powdered sugar • Additional fresh strawberries for garnish
