This recipe that is perfect for summer. Pink Grapefriut
Cupcakes! I submitted these as an entry in this years Cupcakes for Cures
event in Asheville hosted at the always lovely Grove Park Inn. The
cupcakes went in a flash, and were a favorite of my friends and one
of the organizers, but did not win any of the categories.
Competition was stiff!
Regardless, these are one of my favs and have become a staple for
my summer baking. A cupcake that is refreshing? Who knew!
