Tips to Make Summer Cupcakes
- Start with your favorite vanilla cupcakes. I rely almost exclusively on my Lazy Girl vanilla cupcakes because they are tasty (and ridiculously easy).
- Add a little watermelon flavoring to the frosting or the cupcakes for a surprise flavor-infusion.
- Use gel food coloring instead of the liquid version. You’ll get brighter color and need less of it.

Ingredients
- 12 vanilla cupcakes (use our Lazy Girl Vanilla Cupcakes--seriously good)

- Mini chocolate chip morsels
Instructions
- Bake cupcakes and allow them to cool completely.
- Mix 5-10 drops of pink food coloring into frosting until the color is consistent.
