Spring Cupcakes

We had our first BBQ of the season over at the Butler's on Saturday. Jodi did up some tasty ribs, Kim put together some kabobs, then everyone else filled in the rest with salads, slaw, beans and corn bread.

The last time I was in Barnes and Noble, I picked up this great cookbook, Crazy About Cupcakes ('cause if you know me, you know I am!). I had only tried one recipe so far (banana cupcakes, which were de-lish), and I was itching to give something else a try.

So, for the BBQ I made these lemon cupcakes, with a fresh strawberry cream cheese frosting. As it turned out, I really liked the frosting, but not all that much on the lemon cupcakes. I will say, using the frosting as a fruit dip with the remaining strawberries did turn out later to be a big winner though!
