Grapefruit Cupcakes
"I love the tang of the grapefruit in the cupcake and the icing. It is just the perfect amount of citrus flavor. These cupcakes would be great at a little girl’s baby shower, a Mother’s Day brunch, or a birthday celebration too! So pretty in pink!! Grown ups and kids will equally love these gorgeous cupcakes!! The icing is luscious made with cream cheese instead of butter as in a buttercream. Is icing the best part for you? Then it has to be good, right!! The cake though is moist and tender. I love adding in sour cream to my cakes and cupcakes, it gives them the right texture and then they are nice and moist too."
