Happy Easter!!
I hope everyone is having a great Easter weekend! Nothing like a little family gathering with food and festivities to make for a great holiday. For my food contribution this time around, I wanted to bring a sweet treat for everyone. It was my first time ever making cupcakes from scratch, and I have to say it was a little bit of trial and error at first, but I finally found the best recipe. If you love a moist vanilla cupcake and buttercream icing, then this is for you. I thought I’d share this recipe I found and a cute topping idea keeping with the Easter theme. Nothing like a festive cupcake to make Easter a little sweeter 🙂
