Pink Lemonade Cupcakes

Once a month, my ward has an FHE for the mid-single adults (25-35yrs). So, for September I thought it would be fun to make Pink Lemonade Cupcakes...kind of a farewell to summer treat. These cupcakes are so easy to make and so tasty too!  The cupcake has just a hint of lemon and the frosting is nice and tart! 

Here's the recipe:

Pink Lemonade Cupcakes

1 package (18 ounces) white cake mix
3 egg whites
1 cup water
1/3 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
pink food coloring
lemon candies, for decoration

Preheat oven to 350. Line 24 muffin cups with paper baking cups.

Beat cake mix, egg whites, water, 1/3 cup concentrate, oil, and a few drops of food coloring in large bowl with electric mixer at medium speed for 2 minutes. Spoon batter evenly into prepared muffin cups.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until toothpick inserted into centers comes out clean. Cool completely on wire rack before frosting.

Frosting:

1 8oz package cream cheese

1/2 cup butter (1 stick)

3 cups sifted powdered sugar

3 tbs thawed pink lemonade concentrate
