Cuppy-cakes!

I found a great recipe for some gorgeous cupcakes awhile ago and finally put it to use earlier this week. They were everything I ever wanted in a cupcake. Lemony fresh with heaps of berry flavored buttercream frosting.


You can find the recipe here. I only made one tweak, after the cupcakes had cooled I hollowed out a little bit in the top of each one and added a dollop of the blackberry sauce I had leftover after making the frosting - it made for a sweet surprise on the inside. The recipe and the pretty photo collage is by Natalie of Patisserie Natalie, which has lots of eye candy and recipe goodness.

Two disclaimers regarding these cupcakes:

1. If your husband does not like buttercream frosting you are liable to eat most of these by yourself - a health risk to be certain.

2. They do not travel well. That is, they do not like to be left alone in 30 degree Celsius weather in the backseat of you car. And to show you how much they don't like that, they will melt into a lovely, pink mass.

Consider yourself warned.
