Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 12 muffin cups
with paper liners.

Step 2

Whisk white sugar, oil, water, eggs, and 3 tablespoons pink
lemonade powder together in a bowl; stir in buttermilk until smooth.
Whisk flour, baking soda, and baking powder together in a separate
bowl; beat into sugar mixture just until batter is combined. Add just
enough food coloring to turn batter pink. Spoon batter into muffin

cups.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until cupcakes spring back when lightly
touched, 20 to 25 minutes.

Step 4

Beat confectioners' sugar, butter, half-and-half, and 2 tablespoons

pink lemonade powder together in a bowl using an electric mixer
until frosting is smooth and creamy. Add enough food coloring to
make a pink frosting; spread onto cupcakes.

Cook's Note:

Whole milk can be substituted for the half-and-half, if desired.
