Sunny Sunday: Family Reunion! Way behind on posting sorry!

Sunday was my mother's side of the families' annual reunion. (For whatever reason we always hold it on Father's Day which works for half of the people there!) Happy Father's day DAD!


This year I chose to bake up some yummy summery cupcakes for the event. I know, I know they aren't very dadish but they are pretty! That has to count for something!

For the cupcakes and the frosting I used the recipes found at www.shurgarysweets.com 

*The frosting recipe was actually very similar to the one I use for most of my cupcakes ( I use regular milk instead of heavy cream) and is a very common recipe minus the added lemon. The added lemon was so worth it!



I made the flowers using homemade MMF and Wilton gel food coloring and a regular 5 petal flower cutter.

For the lemon garnish, I sliced mini pieces of lemon and dipped them in sugar! Sounds super sour and it the little pieces are but the added sugar actually made them really fun to make :$

Here is the pair together. Surprisingly I'm not the biggest cupcake fan but these were so good!
