I think cupcakes are becoming my favorite baked items to make in the kitchen.  I love the different ways to decorate them as well as the built-in “cuteness factor.”  These cupcakes were made to fill several different needs, but mainly to help our friends Diane and Aaron choose some flavors for their fast-approaching August wedding.

 This tray includes Chocolate Mint Cupcakes with Peppermint Buttercream Frosting, Chocolate Cupcakes with Whipped Peanut Butter Frosting, Chocolate Cupcakes with Vanilla Swiss Buttercream Frosting, Cherry Almond Cupcakes with Almond Buttercream Frosting, and Double Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Curd and Lemon Buttercream Frosting.
