So here they are...the final product. The Perfect Lemon Cupcake! You want one, don't you??
Tonight I finished frosting and decorating Rob's birthday cupcakes. As you can see, each cupcake is topped with this homemade lemon buttercream...including fresh squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest. I don't remember the frosting turning out with such a puckering tart taste last time, but it's a good kind of tart...offset by the creaminess of the butter and sweetness of the sugar.
In addition, each one is decorated with yellow sprinklers and a Lemon Drop. Would you believe Lemon Drops are not easy to find...but I remembered I found them at Walgreen's last year...and I did again this year. I also had a dozen party hat picks, so I added those to half of the cupcakes, and voila...Happy Birthday Husband! I hope you enjoy your made-with-love cupcakes!
