Something about Spring makes me want a cupcake. They're just so bright and happy.  I've found, though, that cupcakes never seem to taste quite as good as they look.  Too often, I've found myself biting into a cupcake and tasting, well, just plain old cake.  Don't get me wrong, cake is good. I like cake. But somehow, I just expect cupcakes to taste like so much more.

This cupcake, though, goes beyond vanilla.  It's a Mimosa Cupcake, created by the author of the Cupcake Project.  She comes up with these great cupcake ideas that are literally wedding-worthy.

And while these may not look as elaborate, they're made with real strawberries.

In case you missed Martha's cupcake week earlier this month, find it here, along with the perfect choice for Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican Chocolate Pudding Filled Cupcake:
