Our neighbor recently helped husbandplzak remove some large bushes and plant sod, [which makes a world of a difference for a curb appeal] so I thought a sweet 'thank you' treat was in order.I made my favorite lemon cupcakes and topped them with cream cheese frosting. To decorate I added lemon wedges and fresh mint leaves from my garden.
I had some extra batter left over so I made mini-cupcakes for us. I love serving these at parties because everyone can sample multiple flavor without as much guilt.
Cream Cheese Frostingadapted from: martha stewart cupcakes
6 oz cream cheese
1/2 c. stick butter
2 c. confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl of an electric mixer. Mix to soften cream cheese. Gradually add butter, and continue beating until smooth and well blended. Sift in confectioners' sugar, and continue beating until smooth. Add vanilla, mix to combine.
