 Not So Sugary, Easy Spring Cupcakes - You Will Want to Guard!

Those wonderfully juicy Louisiana Strawberries started showing up on the roadsides!  So, it was time to dig up my busy-mom version of Strawberry Cupcakes with Strawberry Glaze.

This is a simple project for the whole family.   And by using fresh strawberries, you add a tartness to the cake and glaze that make these cupcakes worth guarding!
I added fan favorite products found in my pantry to the strawberries to make these cupcakes!
