This quick and easy recipe delivers buttery yellow cupcakes that have a rustic, muffin-like texture and a slight lemony flavor. Their thin layer of crust creates an ideal surface for decorating with royal icing, buttercream frosting, or sugar glaze. These same frostings can be tinted with INDIA TREE Natural Decorating Colors, and topped with INDIA TREE Party Decoratifs, Sparkling Sugar, Sanding Sugar, and Nature's Colors Decorating Sugars. |
