Easy Lemon Cupcakes

Oh everyone loves a little cupcake don’t they? These Easy Lemon Cupcakes are so simple and so good!

They are super cute and not too big (I find muffins too big I’d rather have 2 of these lol!)

At Easy Peasy lemon Squeezy we love cake and lemons obviously.

And by the stats from my website I can see you do too.

Sometimes it’s really nice to have an extravagant little treat 

There are loads and loads of recipes out there for lemon cupcakes, but my tried and tested recipe is delicious and so why not give it a whirl

 

Kids Baking Easy Cupcakes?

What I love about these are the kids can make them on their own they are so flipping easy.

They are also quite small and perfect for the cake tin, you know on those days when you need cake…. you just need cake!

Lemon Butter Cream? 

So what icing or buttercream should you have with these? 

Well my lovely lemon one featured here I think is perfect.

It off sets the really sweet icing sugar perfectly, but it’s not too sharp either! 

These little cupcakes are so good  you don’t actually have to add the topping!But it’s really nice though, promise! 

Have a go, go on! And let me know what you think?

If you like these you may very well love my Lemon & Blueberry Muffins, hop over and have a look!

These are a little bigger and more substantial that the smaller plain lemon ones.

They are also studded with lovely Blueberries – yum!

As with larger cakes, icing and other cake decorations such as fruit and candy may be applied).
