I am now into my 3rd trimester of pregnancy and can't wait to have this baby! The first two trimesters seemed to fly by and now it seems like June will never arrive! I thought if I tried to make a summer inspired dessert it might speed up the process a bit. ;)

Lemon Cupcakes:
1 (15.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1 small package vanilla instant pudding
4 eggs
3/4 cup water
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup sour cream
2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Strawberry Lemonade Buttercream Frosting:
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened to room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup seedless strawberry jam
4-5 cups powdered sugar

Sugar sprinkles, optional
Lemon zest, optional
