Spring has sprung and it’s time for lemon, berry and s’ mores themed desserts! These lemon cupcakes are made with a white cake mix, but you can use lemon or yellow. I just prefer using the white because I feel like I get a more “fresh” taste starting with a blank canvas. Cream cheese frosting tastes good on everything, and with a little hint of lemon, you can’t go wrong!
