Strawberry cupcake

Hello all. In the last month I've been trying to "tweak" some of my cupcake recipes. First on the list was Strawberry. How does one create the perfect Strawberry cupcake using real strawberries and with no artificial colourings or additives. After what seemed like an endless battle, I think I've come close with the right balance of taste, texture and of course colour. One must understand that because they only contain natural ingredients, after the first day, the lovely pink hue does fade somewhat. However, I simply jumped up and down when these lovely pink cakes came out of the oven. And they actually tasted like strawberries and cream. What I found out was a combination of puree and powder seemed to do the trick. I'm still deciding on what topping should dawn these little lovelies, something not too overly sweet. But for now, they are just as yummy as there are...
