Chocolate cupcakes with strawberry buttercream


I kept seeing two toned frosting on cupcakes and wanted to try, and a perfect opportunity presented itself. Melanie's Birthday. So before we left on Saturday, to Idaho, to visit Melanie and her family I ran to get some strawberry extract and whipped these up. We had fun playing games with the kiddos and visiting with Melanie and Kyle. Katelyn and I played endless hours of Clue, and we all played lots of Phase 10, Skip Bo, and Apples to Apples, mixed in with Zelda. It was my kinda weekend! Jessyca was the star of the show. She was the entertainment for every meal with her crinkle nose head shakin, she put on many a dance routines with her stompin dances moves, and her 'muahs' to everyone. She also was showered with love and spoiled by Aaron, with suckers, cream soda, and cuddles.

Cake:
1 box devils food cake mix
4 eggs
1 C melted butter (cooled to room temp)
1 C milk

Mix together and pour 1/4 C mix into lined cupcake tins. Bake for 19 mins at 350.

Frosting:
2 pints marshmallow creme
3 sticks of softened butter
1 tsp strawberry extract
3/4 C powdered sugar

Whip marshmallow creme and add butter 1 stick at a time. Add strawberry extract and mix in powdered sugar.
