Notes

Don’t waste your egg yolks! You can use them in this easy lemon curd recipe.
Refrigerate the frosted pineapple orange cupcakes for at least an hour before eating. They taste best chilled!
For more fruity flavor, use orange, pineapple, banana or coconut pudding mix in the frosting instead of vanilla.
