Day Lily Cupcakes

The day lilies in my yard are in full bloom...so what better place to showcase them than on some cupcakes!  I made buttermilk white cupcakes and vanilla buttercream, which I colored yellow to match the inside of the petals.  I also added some lemon zest to the buttercream which gives it a subtle lemon flavor.

I took this picture outside on the deck and my dog Summit came very close to having a cupcake during the photo shoot!   Which one did he lick?  My lips are sealed.
