LEMON KISSED CUPCAKES {LEMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING RECIPE}

I have so many cakes and ideas and recipes to share over the next few weeks … I had a hard time deciding where to start.

But it’s almost Easter.  It’s Spring.  And lemon flavors just seem right for Spring.  Oh.  And I have an obsession with lemon.

Besides, yesterday I shared the Messy Buttercream Ruffles cake (thanks for your sweet comments), so today I  thought I’d share cupcakes with a frosting recipe… and tomorrow (or maybe later today if I can’t stand to wait) later today…  another cake!

On with the show!  Flavor-wise these are a lot like my Lemon Icebox cake, but they’re different too!

The cake is my often-used vanilla cake recipe… nothing too extraordinary there but it works for me (and it’s really good cake).    PS.  Do you see the lemon curd peeking out from under the frosting?  I might have overfilled that one!  Oops!!
