Strawberry Cupcakes

To celebrate my summer vacation I decided to make strawberry cupcakes this afternoon. I used the very talented Linda Lomelino's recipe but changed the blackberries to frozen strawberries. The buttercream frosting is also from the same post. You can find everything (both in Swedish and English) HERE. Because I didn't have vanilla bean I used vanilla sugar. It works okey but vanilla bean is a better option, it tastes much more.
To get more happy colored cupcakes I divided the buttercream in two bowls and put red and yellow food coloring into it. I got some strawberry leftovers. Since the buttercream is so sweet the mashed strawberries gives nice freshness :)
