Yellow Cupcakes with Butter Frosting

I baked these with the help of my five-year-old son.  After we baked and decorated (he did some of his own), he held up the backdrop for the photo session.  We had such a good time that the mess that took me two hours to clean up, was totally worth it!

Below is the recipe for the batter, but for the frosting, please click here. If you like this cupcake recipe, why not try my Fresh Strawberry Cupcakes with Whipped Cream Frosting or Easy Homemade Chocolate Cupcakes. Become a cupcake aficionado in no time!
