So pinterest is good for so many reasons, here is just one more.
During this wonderful labor day, I have labored over my very first batch of purely from scratch cupcakes. I saw this picture of these beautiful cupcakes on pinterest the other day and decided that I must try them.
They are Lemon Berry Cupcakes and it is easy to see why I fell in love with them at first sight. After following a couple links I found out that they were from a blog that is written by a high school student in Seattle. The blog is really cute and she has some great recipes up on her site.
I know that my cupcakes look nothing like hers, but they sure do taste good! The recipe was easy to follow and it all went just like she described in the recipe. Her icing looks ten times better than mine, mine came out very thin. I think it was because I got too excited and did not wait the right amount of time before icing the cupcakes.
Either way, they are delicious and I am happy how they turned out. The cake part is a very tasty lemon pound cake with raspberry and blackberry topping. Yum!
These cupcakes are going to be shared with some friends tonight at dinner and some are going to be brought to school for my fifth grade team to start the school off right, or at leat start it off on a sugar kick...that is really what six fifth grade teachers need at 7:00 in the morning on the first day of school!
