Lemon cupcakes!!!

I like to add real stuff to store bought stuff to make things amazing! I made these lemon cupcakes for Easter! I added some of the lemon to the frosting and the remaining juice I put into the cake mix. I simply just replaced some of the water with juice! So easy and it made the cake taste more "from scratch" and less fake lemon taste!

Made yummy lemon frosting with real lemon!!

I took the zest of one large lemon and about a TBS of lemon juice and mixed it into my store bought frosting! I had to add a bit more powered sugar to make it thicker. It is SO good!

Peeps are too cute on top!

I sprinkled "green sugar" on top and added a peep! Super easy for Easter! I dyed the sugar with some food coloring and my 8 year old "smushed" the sugar and food coloring in a ziplock. You can do the same thing with coconut, but my guests didn't like coconut. I think it would have looked more like grass though!
