I adore cupcakes, especially for spring celebrations like Easter, Mother’s Day, bridal showers, baby showers, or birthdays. Cupcakes are tiny and cute, yet they still have the ability to support enormous quantities of smooth, creamy frosting – the best part of a cake in my opinion. These fresh spring cupcakes will add a beautiful touch to your celebration table, and there are a dozen cupcake recipes to choose from!
