I Bought Another Cupcake Book!

I think it found me.  I wasn't really looking for it.  I was shopping with my daughter in Anthropologie.  We were looking at clothes but it found me.  It was on a cute little  blue table so I sat down on one of those comfortable chairs they have and next thing I know I was in line with ANOTHER BAKING BOOK!  I had to get it and tonight I am using several of the recipes.  The vanilla cupcakes are the best I have ever had and right now a vanilla cake is in the oven and looks delicious.  Frosting recipes look great.  I'm trying the Mocha, the Strawberry Buttercream & the Lemon.  Next I am baking the Strawberry Cupcakes & that is the recipe I will share with you today.  Please don't think I am going wild baking every kind of cupcake.  I am baking 200 cupcakes for a wedding tomorrow & the bride wants all flavors.  So much fun to do. 

The baking book I am so excited about is called "Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery" by Martha Swift & Lisa Thomas.  They are located in London.  Recipes are great and the pictures are the best.  Definitely a worthwhile buy. 

So here is the recipe as I can't be long with all the baking I have left.  Comment, Follow etc. Please??
