Glazed Lemon Cupcakes

Glazed Lemon Cupcakes by ilonaspassion.com

Do you like sweet and sour all together? All these flavors are packed in these lemon cupcakes with a sweet and sour glaze. They are so easy to make so you can make them quickly from ingredients that you probably have already on hand. I noticed that some people will love glazed lemon cupcakes while others will not. I think you hate it or love it:)

I love lemons I always add them to my tea. But lemon cupcakes is a different story… adding lemons to cupcakes; this is nice combination of flavors. I personally love them, my older son likes everything but not the glaze and my younger son loves the glaze. Mixed feelings here in this house:) I think that without this sweet – sour glaze they will be just plain cupcakes, the glaze needs to be added for extra flavor.
