Dymer Cupcakes (Aka Cherry Lemonade)

Donna and Kristy love lemonade mixed with cherry vodka, so I came up with these refreshing cupcakes to match their signature wedding drink!!

Cupcakes
1 box lemon cake mix & necessary additions
1 lemon
Icing
5 1/2 c powdered sugar
3/4 c butter, softened
6 tbs Maraschino cherry juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 c chopped Maraschino cherries

Prepare lemon cake mix as directed on box, adding the zest of one lemon.  Distribute batter into cupcake liners until about 2/3 filled.  Bake as directed.  Remove from pan and let cool.  To prepare the frosting, combine all ingredients in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth.  To make thinner, add a bit more of cherry juice, to make thicker add powdered sugar.  Fill large food container zip bag with icing and cut tip off of corner to create an even flow of icing.  Once cupcakes are cool, simply squeeze icing onto fresh cupcakes and enjoy the Dymer cupcakes care of Donna and Kristy!
