Strawberries were .99 cents a pound. What's a person to do? I made Martha Stewart's Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Buttercream (http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/strawberry-cupcakes-with-strawberry-buttercream?backto=true), and was not impressed. They were okay, but definitely not worth the sweat on my brow. I've never had much luck with any of Martha's cupcake recipes, so I should've known. Next time, and there definitely will be a next time with strawberries, I will make this:

wow, i've been featured on your blog already! what an honor!
i actually made smitten kitchen's pink lady cake, which was also supposedly strawberry flavored. also highly unimpressed. very heavy and dense, and not really flavored. don't tell anyone, but i'm starting to wonder if boxed cake mix is the only way to get light and fluffy cake? now i hardly ever make cakes and cupcakes (like 3 times a year), so i wouldn't know for sure, but like you said, martha's cupcakes haven't done it for me yet either. . .
