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.
