CUPCAKE RECIPE
Yesterday, I shared our Strawberry Cupcakes recipe. Today, I will be sharing our Pink Lemonade Cupcakes Recipe. Oh. My. Goodness, these are SO GOOD! You have to like pink lemonade though to like these. They are a bit tart, but really tasty!
EASY CUPCAKE RECIPE
Since we have quite a large number in our family, one batch of cupcakes isn’t going to cut it, so I made two for my daughter’s birthday party. The Strawberry Cupcakes on yesterday’s post and these pink lemonade ones.

* I found the recipe for these at Confections of a Foodie Bride. I altered the original recipe a bit so that mine would be a bit less tart! If you don’t want the tartness to be to overwhelming you may want to do the same. I really like how they turned out
My husband was a BIG fan of these cupcakes. He ate two in one sitting…sorry about that babe!

oooh these sound so good! I think I'm going to try a "sugar free" version for my huzby! Thanks for sharing!
Yummy! These sound fantastic!
These look super yummy. I lost my source for boxed orange cake mix so I'm wondering how this recipe would taste with oj.
I Love the show Cupcake Wars. I have been making up my own lately. I have made Rootbeer Float, Chocolate Strawberry, Chocolate Malt, and Peaches and cream. I have not ever heard of pink lemonade! I will have to give them a try :)
Wow, what a wonderful new idea. So tired of chocolate and vanilla!

I posted a VEEERY yummy recipe for smores cupcakes on my food blog

I have had a red velvet cupcake that had chocolate chunks in the cake, with the traditional cream cheese frosting…they were delicious…something different to try!
Sounds delish! They look "nice" too, and I would serve them at a baby shower or some other shower party! I think they are darling! :)
I LOVE the sound of these! Maybe I'll go non-traditional and do cupcakes for baby's first birthday. Where did you find the cupcake "picks"? SUPER cute!
yum!!
@Stacy, that show rocks. my favorite cupcake store in Chicago won when they were on (Molly's Cupcakes)
I love the peach brown sugar cupcakes from smitten kitchen:

I might have an addiction to them-if peaches are still in season near you hurry and make these!!
Alright…quit with all the cupcakes already! My mouth is watering…I'm staring at the photos, I'm dreaming of cupcakes and a tall glass of milk!
I had a piece of lemonaid cake once that I loved! I am betting this taste similar so thank you so much for the recipe! I needed a treat idea for Sunday's primary lesson and this will be perfect! I love it when you share recipes and craft ideas! All you stuff is great but those two are my favs!
I am going to have to try these! I have a recipe for Key Lime Cake that is just lovely if anyone is interested!
