  10. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  12. In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy (about 2-3 minutes).
  13. Mix in the honey and lemon juice until well combined.
  14. Gradually add the powdered sugar, mixing on low speed until fully incorporated, then beat until fluffy and smooth.
  15. Frost the cooled cupcakes using a piping bag or a knife.
