Spring cupcake recipes PLUS tips and tricks!

It's spring, which means wedding showers, baby showers, birthday parties, cookouts, garden parties, teas etc. etc. 

Basically, it's what I call cupcake season. Today I am sharing FOUR cupcake recipes plus a couple tips and tricks to make your cakes special! 

Strawberry Cheesecake cupcakes. I made these for a baby shower at my mom's work. The very next day I started getting emails asking me to make them at other events. I said no. I am not a professional baker. But man, they are good.

Lemon blueberry poundcake cupcakes. There is a bakery near where I live that makes incredible lemon blueberry poundcake cupcakes. BUT they over charge. Especially for something I can make for just a few dollars at home.

Lemon Overload Cupcakes, I made these at Easter two years ago and I still think about them. It's yellow cake with a lemon custard filling and "candy" coated icing. Yeah, it's intense.

Crusty poundcake cupcakes. These are delicious because they are dense and crusty like a poundcake but in smaller form and covered in frosting.

Cream cheese frosting is my favorite. But sometimes it can fall flat or just turn out gross. This is my secrets to the BEST cream cheese frosting.
