These are nice, fluffy cupcakes, and as with many of the recipes in this fun cookbook, cut out a bit of the fat with plain yogurt, with no loss to moistness or taste. They're not any easier for kids to help out with than any other cupcake recipe - unlike some of the recipes in this book, but I find that my 3 1/2 year old can crack eggs with a bit of practice and even hold the electric mixer.
One note - for the pink frosting, chop the strawberries very finely and only beat them into the butter for the 30 seconds it recommends, then very gently as you add the powdered sugar. The first time I made these I figured I'd use the beater to break the strawberries up, but it ended up ruining the frosting; it broke apart into tiny little globs.
