LEMON LAVENDER CUPCAKES


The cake is so light and fluffy! I made these for a friend’s birthday and they were delicious! Everyone was raving about them.

These Lemon Lavender Cupcakes turned out great! The lemon cupcake is light and moist and the lavender frosting is soft and lovely. Together they make a great cupcake for trying something new or a fun get together. I hope you enjoy them as much as we did!
