    There’s just something about homemade cupcakes, am I right?! They are just so darn cute and bring back memories of when you were a kid and mom let you lick the frosting spoon (after they were done, of course). I used to be the boxed cake and cupcake gal. However, after I started baking my own cupcakes, I realized that boxed is not only very expensive, but you are maybe saving yourself only 10-15 minutes. Making homemade cupcakes is actually as easy as mixing flour and baking soda if you have the right recipe. But the taste…so worth it! These homemade cupcake recipes are sure to make you swoon with nostalgia and I hope you enjoy them!
