For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a pinch of lemon zest to the cupcake batter. If you're short on time, use store-bought whipped cream, but homemade is always best! Macerating the strawberries overnight will yield the most flavorful results. These cupcakes are best served the same day they are assembled.
