Mini Cupcakes

So this past week I was contacted to do 500 mini cupcakes for a wedding. Their choice of flavor was lemon cake with a lemon buttercream. So below I will post the doctored up quick recipe for an amazing lemon cake!!

• 1 box white cake mix
• 4 eggs
• 1 box lemon pudding mix
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1/3 cup lemon juice
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1 cup water
• 
  
• Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl
• 
  
• Bake at 325 for 12-14 minutes
• Makes 65 mini cupcakes using 1 tbsp of batter per mini cupcake cup
• 
  
• Lemon buttercream
• 1 lbs butter
• 2 lbs powdered sugar
• Juice from 1 lemon
• Zest
• 1 tsp vanilla
• Milk until desired consistence

Adding more lemon zest will make a more lemon flavor, I added the zest from 3 lemons for this buttercream!

• 

Beat all with mixture. I like mine fairly thick to pipe onto the cupcakes!
