Tips:
- For a tangy frosting, use freshly squeezed lemon juice. Bottled lemon juice can be used, but it may not have the same flavor intensity.
- If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
- To make the frosting lighter and fluffier, whip it for at least 2 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- If you want a sweeter frosting, add more powdered sugar. You can also add a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness.
- For a fun and festive touch, decorate the cupcakes with lemon zest, sprinkles, or edible flowers.
