One of our new favorites happens to be her Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes. I had a couple requests for the recipe after mentioning them here. Little Guy is requesting these for the hub's birthday tomorrow. He was thoroughly disappointed when we told him we would be having pie instead (since his daddy is a pie lover).
My mom created these beauties from adapting recipes here and here. Pure genius. Pure heaven. Enjoy!
