Yellow Cupcakes

I got this yellow cupcakes recipe from the Food Network. It is amazingly delicious. The cupcakes come out very moist, and fluffy. The light golden color works well with springtime colors. When I read the reviews, all fellow bakers seemed pleased at their accomplishments. Even when there was a slight mishap, of using medium eggs instead of large, their yellow cupcakes still came great. I recommend using frosting of your choice, and decorating to your liking as well. I'm including a lemonade frosting that I happen to like. I also found some adorable and pretty Easter Cupcakes.

Here comes Peter Cottontail, hopin down the bunny trial with a hippity, hoppity basketful of cupcakes.
