Lemon Sunshine Cupcakes

Lemon Sunshine Cupcakes - recipe for the best lemon cupcakes! Decorate with candy corn and icing for a fun summer treat!

It is suppose to rain this weekend here in Birmingham, so I decided to make my own sunshine!  This is another Pinterest find.  (Has anyone started Pinterest Anonymous yet? Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am a Pinterest addict.)

I decided to make lemon cupcakes because lemon feels like sunshine to me.  I didn’t want to spend all day making cupcakes, so doctored up a lemon cake mix and just used a can of lemon frosting.  The cupcakes tasted fantastic!  I could have eaten several of these, but Chicken Legs didn’t save me any.

I thought the cupcake decorations were super cute.  I used candy corn for the sun rays, mini chocolate chips for the eyes, and some red icing for the smile.  Let the kids help out with the decorating and make some sunshine this weekend!

    I hope it doesn't rain in MS for a change. We had rain almost every day for 2 weeks.

    Our yard looked better than the hay field.
