Lemon Cream Cheese Cupcakes

Oh, how I ADORE lemon.  Recipes with lemon are constantly beckoning to me, especially if they’re sweet.  ☺  Spring is the perfect time to enjoy lemon recipes–the color, taste, smell–it’s delightful.  These Lemon Cream Cheese Cupcakes are remarkably and insanely good.  Being a frosting girl, I could eat it with a spoon all by itself, it’s that good.  Not that I would EVER do that.  ;)

I love these cupcakes because the lemon flavor is, well, lemon-y!  The rich cream cheese frosting melts in your mouth, and the two together are…perfection. Make them for a gathering, special occasion like a baby shower, to give to a friend, or just because!!!
