I was just going to make cupcakes for Eleanor's birthday, but when I told her this she got very distressed and said "What about my birthday CAKE?!" So I did both, but tried to keep it simple (at least more simple than last year- even if Kurt doesn't believe that it was).
The Strawberry Cake was from the box, but the Strawberry Cream Cheese Frosting was homemade:
1 cup butter
2 packages cream cheese (8 oz each)
2 lbs powdered sugar
1 1/2 t vanilla (about?)
2 t imitation strawberry flavoring (I inherited this from a neighbor that moved and decided to try using it)
Pink food gel
Cream together butter and cream cheese until fluffy. Add p. sugar about a cup at a time. Add vanilla and strawberry flavoring and mix well. Then add coloring.
