After a particularly stressful week, all I wanted when I got back from class Thursday night was something delicious, so I browsed the internet toward the end of the day, looking for a recipe.  I finally found a simple and wonderful one for cupcakes.  The Betty Crocker website gave me the idea to add a little bit of lemon zest to white cake mix and crushed strawberries to vanilla icing.  Doing this was just as simple as making a boxed recipe, but it gave the ordinary cupcake mix a little extra flavor. I even had some special spring colored sprinkles hiding in the back of one of my cabinets.  So, if you’ve got a sweet tooth, and need a little spring pick me up I suggest trying out this simple recipe.
