Feeling a little romantic

I felt like making cupcakes, but I also was really interested in eating some chocolate covered strawberries. I found this great recipe online and then of course did what I do best,...adapted it to be my own. I made a cupcake out of some of my fresh strawberries that I macerated overnight. I also used the same strawberry puree in my frosting. Instead of using a ganache or a chocolate frosting, I put straight up chocolate on top of my cake, this made for a slight crunch, like a real chocolate coating! 
I will be surprising my office mates later this afternoon.
