Lemon-Cream Cheese Cupcakes

Recipe #301548 | 1¼ hours | 10 min prep | 24 cupcakes (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: cookiedog

These have a light lemon flavor. This really makes a lot of frosting so you may want to cut the frosting recipe in half. On the other hand, the frosting is so good, you might want to use the extra frosting as a dip for fruit. From Kraft.
