1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Grease and flour mini muffin pans, or line them with mini cupcake liners for easy removal.

2. Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix ๐Ÿฐ and instant lemon pudding mix ๐Ÿ‹. Add the eggs ๐Ÿฅš, vegetable oil ๐Ÿซ’, and water ๐Ÿ’ง. Use an electric mixer to beat the mixture on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, until smooth and fully combined. The batter should have a light, lemony aroma.

3. Bake the Cupcakes: Pour the batter into the prepared mini muffin pans, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Bake for 10-12 minutes โณ, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The cupcakes should be slightly golden and puffed. Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. Prepare the Lemon Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar ๐Ÿš, fresh lemon juice ๐Ÿ‹, lemon zest ๐Ÿ‹, water ๐Ÿ’ง, and melted butter ๐Ÿงˆ. Whisk until smooth and the glaze reaches a pourable consistency. Adjust the amount of water if needed to achieve the desired thickness.

5. Dip the Cupcakes: Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, dip the tops of each cupcake into the lemon glaze, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the dipped cupcakes back on the wire rack to set. For an extra lemony kick, drizzle additional glaze over the tops once theyโ€™ve been dipped.

6. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the glaze to set completely before serving. These Lemon Blossoms are perfect for a refreshing, citrusy treat thatโ€™s sweet, tangy, and full of bright lemon flavor!
