Are you dreaming of Summer yet?
Having visions of sitting by the pool with a refreshing drink in your hand?
I am really excited with how well this idea turned into delicious cupcakes,
I have a delicious summery treat for you...Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes!
I am really excited with how well this idea turned into delicious cupcakes,
because this recipe is simple and just SO good!
I started with my favorite strawberry cake, which uses a white cake mix.
Then I added some frozen lemonade concentrate to give it a new, intense flavor.
The sweetness of strawberries + the tang of lemonade = YUMMY!

ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make a strawberry lemonade-flavored dessert! Thanks for sharing these, they look so good!
ReplyDeleteI made these and they weren't quite lemony enough for me. I added one more more tablespoon of lemonade concentrate to the batter, a 1/2 tsp of lemon extract to the icing and used the leftover lemonade concentrate to brush the tops of the cupcakes before frosting them. It was really yummy and had just the right amount of lemon.
ReplyDeleteI like your post.I have also doing same type work.Actually I have also made birthday cakes in Maidstone. Most of people like cakes in special occasion that's why your blog is very useful for them.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this recipe!
ReplyDeleteMmmmm…..YUM! You did a fantastic job. These look delicious!!!
