Question 1

Can I substitute the boxed lemon cake mix with a homemade lemon cake recipe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, do whatever works for you! If you have a homemade lemon cake recipe you love then go for it. Caked by Katie has a great gluten free lemon cupcake recipe.

Question 2

Can I use salted butter instead of unsalted butter?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I do it all the time. It will have a slightly salted flavor but if that doesn't bother you, then give it a try.

Question 3

Can I make the cupcakes in advance and frost them later?

Accepted Answer

You can bake the cupcakes the lady before and frost when you have time. I recommend covering them with plastic wrap to keep them fresh.

Question 4

Can I use a different type of piping tip for the frosting?

Accepted Answer

I am a Wilton 1M fan, but you can use whatever piping tip you have available.

Question 5

Can I make a non-alcoholic version of the frosting for children or non-drinkers?

Accepted Answer

Leave out the pipettes of the ones for the kids and guests that don't drink. That's why the vodka is in pipettes instead of directly in the frosting.

Question 6

Can I use a different type of flavored vodka instead of lemon vodka?

Accepted Answer

Feel free to play around. A raspberry vodka would be a delicious addition to these tangy lemon treats. You could also try schnapps or another form of liquor altogether.
