two cupcakesLove is in the air…or is that just the smell of cupcakes in the oven? Either way, these cupcakes will have you channeling St. Valentine in no time. A classic vanilla cupcake combined with the tartness of pink lemonade is just the incentive needed to pucker up and smooch somebody. This lemony tart concoction is perfectly complimented by a sweet butter cream frosting and packs a deliciously sweet and sour punch. Oh and they’re super easy! They’re perfect for a Valentine’s party or for making for your sweetheart.

Pucker Up Buttercup-cakes

Ingredients: 

Cupcakes

  • 1 box of vanilla cake mix
  • 3 Tablespoons powdered pink lemonade mix
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/4 cup water
  • red or pink food coloring

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 4-5 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
