PINK LEMONADE CUPCAKES
These cupcakes are absolutely darling. I found the recipe in a cupcake cookbook a couple of years ago. They are perfect for little girl birthday parties (and even older girl birthday parties as my adult friends also love them!). They are tangy and sweet and not too dense. I often make bite-size ones in my mini cupcake pan. Reduce the baking time if making minis or they will dry out.

Tips:

- 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 and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cupcakes rise properly.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cupcakes tough.
- Fill the cupcake liners only 2/3 full. This will prevent them from overflowing in the oven.
