Have seen my Pound Cake Perfection post? These cupcakes are basically from that recipe, with an added glaze, a delicious sweet lemon glaze. Garry agreed: cupcake perfection. < Whoa. High praise. This is the original recipe for the pound cake with the lemon glaze added. You could just as easily split the cupcakes in half, …

This OMT how-to is the easiest you’ll ever read here, unless I tell y’all to forget about the recipe and order out.
