Valentine’s Day is coming up and that makes me think of everything pink and red!! It’s also my Andie’s birthday on Valentine’s Day which makes the holiday a little bit more special!!
My calling in the church is Personal Progress, so once a month I get the opportunity to play with the girls in my ward. Of course, I have to bring a treat, and since it’s January I wanted to do something that was bright and colorful.
This is what I came up with……Cherry Limeade Cupcakes!!!
I hooked my husband by making the best cherry limeade drink when we were dating, go figure!

Oh yum! These look really good!
These look wonderful and perfect for Valentine's. Thanks for linking up to Foodie Friends Friday and I hope that you will join us again this week.. Snack Food is the theme.
My mouth is literally watering!! That frosting looks simply divine!! Must try. I must admit that homemade cupcakes often don't turn out for me. I don't know why, but I cannot get the knack. I will try these. Wish me luck!!
You can do it!!! Let me know how they turn out!
These look very tasty! I'm on a "not so sweet" kick with my baked goods. Currently working on perfecting the recipe for pink lemonade cupcakes. Last try was too heavy… I want a light and airy cupcake.
Maybe I'll take a break and make these instead!
Oh. My. Those look so totally delicious! I pinned it to Pinterest 🙂
