Preheat oven to 350 F degrees. Line a cupcake pan with liners.
Microwave Smart Ones® Strawberry Shortcake Desserts on high for 20 seconds to completely thaw.
Using a spoon, remove strawberry and cream topping from cake, and reserve in a separate mixing bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, using a fork, mix cake portion of Smart Ones® Strawberry Shortcake Desserts with French vanilla cake mix until the two ingredients are well incorporated. Add diet cream, or strawberry soda, and whisk until batter is smooth.
