I was searching for a lemon cupcake recipe to try for my daughters baby shower to be in July. They look beautiful and the recipe sounds easy yet tasty. Any hints on creating a firm frosting that will hold up for the outside summer shower? Also what technique did you use to first cupcakes? Just. Knife or spatula?
