Vanilla cupcakes with lemon frosting

13 april, 2022

Easter cupcakes

Easter is around the corner and what could be better than baking something delicious to celebrate? We usually don’t do that much for this holiday, but an egg hunt for Adam is of course planned. Otherwise – meeting family and enjoying some good food, I don’t need much more than that. 

I have a feeling that we will spend lots of time outdoors, biking, visiting playgrounds and playing soccer. I’m not sure how much I’ll participate with less than a month to due date, but at least I can watch the others 😀 

Easter cupcakes

Cakes are always lovely, but sometimes you just want to prepare something that’s super simple but still looks very pretty. Or is it just me? To me, this simple but pretty looking thing is spelled cupcakes. The frosting and decorations make them look like tiny cakes, but they are so much more simple to make. Get the recipe below! 

Xx, 
Sofia 

Psst! If you want to make these cupcakes any other time of the year, just decorate with flowers or something else that you like instead.
