Mini Spring Strawberry Lemon Cupcakes
What a full weekend! I made these adorable little cupcakes to serve at a fundraiser Kristina was doing to raise money for children in Honduras. She is studying global studies and going to Honduras next month to build a jungle gym for kids at an orphanage. I wanted to do a fun little bite size treat with a spring theme and came up with these darling little cupcakes with a fresh fruity flavor and a delicious buttercream frosting.
