Even with my "helpers," they turned out okay. I made vanilla buttercream but at the last minute added a little lemon juice and lemon zest, and colored it pale yellow. Doesn't taste all that lemony to me, but it looks pretty! I think for more lemon flavor I'd need to do almost a lemon curd. Maybe lemon and chocolate is a weird combination, though. And I do think vanilla buttercream is not that great--I like chocolate far better. Vanilla just tastes weak. I was thrilled to find that my cupcakes fit perfectly in the Tupperware containers I bought at a yardsale last weekend for a quarter apiece. I think it must have been cupcake kismet.
