Instructions

Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350° and line two muffin pans with cupcake liners.
Make Batters: Make cake mix and brownie batter according to package instructions.
Layer and Bake: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of brownie batter into bottom of each cupcake liner. Fill rest of the cup with vanilla batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted into middle of a cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cupcakes cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 30 cupcakes total.
Make Frosting: Add strawberries to a food processor and blend until strawberries are mashed and almost completely pureed. In a large bowl, combine cream cheese and butter and beat with a hand mixer until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat until fluffy. Add vanilla and strawberry puree and mix until evenly incorporated. Stir in food coloring, if desired, for a pinker color.
Frost.
