Lemon Buttercream

This recipe is AMAZING, especially on a strawberry cupcake for a Strawberry Lemonade treat! Perfect on a spring occasion, or any time of year! This delicious recipe also has a perk, its SUPER easy and you don’t need a bunch of ingredients! Just remember to zest the lemon before you juice it, I’ve made that mistake one too many times.
