Summertime (in cupcake form!)
Part of my inspiration for these cupcakes came from a recipe my friend made for her Home Ec. class and from a recipe for a lemon Bunt cake from "The Cake Mix Doctor" by Anne Byrn (which I would highly recommend).

You Will Need
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease 24 cupcakes liners.
-
Step 2
Mix cake mix, Jello, oil, water and eggs in an electric mixing bowl. Once they are mixed beat them on high for 2-3 minutes. Grate in lemon zest and mix. (You can use however much you want depending on how Lemony you want your cupcakes)
-
Step 3
Pour cupcakes batter evenly into cupcake liners and bake for 18-21 minutes. Cupcakes are done with they spring back slightly when touched and when you can stick a toothpick/skewer in them and it comes out clean.
-
Step 4
Put cupcakes on cooling racks to cool. Let them cool COMPLETELY. (this usually takes 1-2 hours)
-
Step 5
Once cupcakes are completely cooled, it's time to ice them! :D
Whip your whipping cream in an electric mixer on high until it thickens and is a good enough consistency for your liking.
(if you wanna be lazy, you can just use store bought whipped topping) -
Step 6
Lastly, apply the whipped topping; you can do this by either just scooping it onto the top or you can get all fancy and used a pastry bag (like you would use for icing) to make it all pretty. Then slice up some strawberries and put them on top in whatever fashion you deem fit.
enjoy! ^-^
