Pink Lemonade Cupcakes
I can’t help falling for cute little desserts and snacks. These Pink Lemonade Cupcakes are one of them. They are defined by rich, moist cupcakes made with white cake mix and trimmed strawberries and a fluffy, flavorful frosting of lemonade, butter, powdered sugar and red food coloring. They’re now one of my favorite sweet food for weekend meals and small parties.
