John's Birthday Cupcakes


Sour Patch Kids Cupcakes!

I made these cupcakes for my boyfriend's birthday -- he is a sour patch kid fanatic so when I stumbled across the recipe on Ingredients Of A 20 Something I knew I had to make them for his birthday!  It is a basic yellow cake BUT the icing IS SOUR and the flavors of a sour patch kid!!

RASPBERRY!
(By the way, who knew? I always thought the red was cherry.)

ORANGE!

LEMON!

And last but not least, the birthday boy's favorite..
LIME!

I bought the Tart and Sour Flavor Enhancer off of Amazon to make the icing sour.  The icing is a Swiss Meringue Buttercream with the sour flavor & raspberry, orange, lemon or lime extract.  



I just love the way all of the colors look together! So so pretty!  The birthday boy is thrilled with my choice so this should be a good birthday..

Gotta go, time to eat cupcakes :)
