"Sink your teeth into these cupcakes that look and taste just like a watermelon! They’re the cutest and most delicious summer cupcakes around. Bring these yummy treats out for a new and different take on the classic backyard barbecue dessert. Make these cupcakes your watermelon ending to a great get together! My favorite candy has always been watermelon flavored anything, and I make a mean cupcake. It just made sense to whip up these delicious white cake cupcakes flavored with watermelon and topped with watermelon flavored buttercream frosting."
