The Joy of Eating - Paula Deen's 'Simply Delicious Strawberry (Cup) Cake'
March 23, 2009 
I whipped up a batch of cupcakes today using Paula Deen's 'Simply Delicious Strawberry Cake' recipe. I thought I'd share the recipe with y'all (as Paula would say) since it's just so darned good. I got it out of her magazine, so I thought I'd check online to see if I could just link it up for you. I didn't find it on her actual site, but I did find it on another bloggers site, Celeste over at Sugar & Spice, so I figured, why not just let her give you the details?
I did manage to take a bunch of pictures of them, however, to make sure I adequately entice you to give them a try. They're SO easy and SO good. Paula's recipe calls for a strawberry cream cheese frosting, but I had some chocolate frosting leftover so I used that instead. I've had the cream cheese frosting too... Both are good.
Come on... You know you want to eat these.
These are my 'show muffins'... The ones I set aside to photograph, the ones I thought were the prettiest. Well, these were not the original three. I left the kitchen for a minute, and since Mr. Blue Eyes was not aware of the 'show muffin' situation, when I returned there was a muffin missing. Thankfully there was an understudy waiting in the wings and the photo shoot went on as planned, until this happened...
Run, show muffin, run! Apparently show muffins hold some sort of higher appeal than all the other muffins. It's the curse of being beautiful.

there seems to be a pictorial theme throughout your Home Cookin' page that involves your husbands open mouth... hmmm, poor Mr. Blue Eyes must be starving over there.
It's not so much starvation as a complete lack of control, or shame, when it comes to sweet treats!
That is hilarious! Thanks for the cupcake recipe!
