Ask and you shall receive, my friends! After posting the Raspberry Lemon Ruffle Cake a few weeks back, the number one question was "Can I turn this into cupcakes?" In my world cupcakes are always a good idea, like when I think about them, I hear Taylor Swift singing "we never go out of style, we never go out of styyyyle."

The lemon cake recipe I use for the ruffle cake is very light and dainty, and ...

Roasted Strawberry and Mascarpone Cupcakes
