….Cupcakes, that is.
These “gourmet” cupcakes are too easy to make and oh so good. They are light and refreshing and you’ll feel like you could eat 10.
We spent this last weekend with our good friends in Logan, Utah. Between these cupcakes, Traci’s amazing Caramel Popcorn (I’ll have to post that another day), and Mel’s frog eye salad, I lost all self control.

These look amazing!
I’m in love already. John’s been asking me to come up with strawberry pina colada cupcakes so maybe I could tweak this with strawberries.
yum! a perfect summer treat!
