White Cupcakes with Strawberry Frosting

A new family moved in across the street from us this week, so I decided to make cupcakes to bring as a welcome gift.  Originally I planned to bake a white cake mix and frost cupcakes with a jar of chocolate frosting.  While getting eggs from the fridge I spotted the carton of strawberries I’d bought earlier in the week that needed to be eaten asap.  Plans changed!  I thought about putting the berries in the cake mix, then thought about making cream cheese icing and placing a slice of strawberry on top, but then I remembered that I’d seen a strawberry frosting recipe on MarthaStewart.com a while back.
