Early last Monday morning I woke up with two thoughts: 1) Could it be possible to extend our bedroom closet and 2) strawberry lemon cupcakes sounded amazing. Turns out the extension isn't possible but the cupcakes were! I haven't a clue where the idea came from, but so glad it came to me!
I immediately ran to the store for the necessities and came home to resume my vision!
I am a firm believer that presentation is key! You may not notice as you dig into the yummy desserts but I used yellow and pink papers to keep with the theme of strawberries and lemons!
Homemade buttercream icing was tented in pink and yellow.
And by accident, this darling last cupcake got a swirl of both colors. I didn't have enough pink to finish so I added the yellow, since it was just us eating them, and it's total perfection! The next round will all be swirled!
Finally, what strawberry lemonade isn't complete without a straw? These little guys are topped with Sweet and Sour Twizzlers. I can't say enough about the toppers. The leftovers lasted less than 24 hours!
I haven't ever been so proud of a cupcake! I don't know what it was about these, but I loved everything about them. And the family's response was unanimous! This is a cupcake to keep in the repertoire!
