I'm all about trying new recipes and baking from scratch when I have the time, but in my book there's nothing wrong with doctoring up a box mix from time to time. I'd say Betty Crocker, Duncan Hines and the Pillsbury dough boy are pretty successful at what they do, so who am I to judge?!
These cupcakes are one of my favorites to make.
I think the fresh berries on top make them look so pretty.
Hope you like them too :)
