Lemon Blackberry Cupcakes

A simple from-scratch lemon cupcake has blackberry buttercream frosting. This cupcake is a refreshing hit! Garnish each cupcake with a blackberry or a pinch of lemon zest."

 Amazingly delicious! 5 stars for taste! Rave reviews from the family. Only change I made was that I used red raspberry preserves instead of blackberry simply because that is what I had. It worked perfectly. So lemony and refreshing - the flavors compliment eachother wonderfully. 

As written the recipes does NOT produce 24 cupcakes, I got 16 out of mine. I cut the frosting in half and had the perfect amount to frost 16 cupcakes...if I would have made the entire amount of frosting it would have been way too much.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cupcakes

A delicious reese peanut butter cupcake with a homemade peanut butter buttercream!  The moist chocolate cake with the gooey peanut butter chips was just the beginning!

A decadent layer of peanut butter buttercream and then to top it all off a couple of my favorite candies pulverized in the food processor and adorning the top..  even tho i add the flour mixture at the end and mix slowly until combined. at first they shrank when i got them out the oven when i used this recipe so i change it up a little :) but delicious!!


So if you love Reese Cups like I do, I hope you’ll try this recipe and love it just like we did.  You might even have trouble waiting for the cupcakes to cool so you can frost them… them seem to just disappear!

Blueberry Cupcakes with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

This is and excellent batter. It makes a very light and fluffy cupcake with a hint of lemon flavor. I don't understand how others say it's very dense and more muffin like. They're obviously doing something wrong. In my opinion, the frosting has the wrong amount of added powdered sugar. I only used about 1 1/2 to 2 cups. Just added a little at a time after 1 cup until I felt  the texture and taste was right. 

Loved the lemony/tart flavor of the frosting its almost like the sour cream is in the frosting. I liked it very much. I also was able to get it a nice purple/blue color like the picture by adding 4 drops of blue food coloring and 4 drops of red food coloring. This is a keeper recipe that I will be making for my daughters bridal shower. You should compare other cream cheese frosting recipes to see the ratio of cream cheese, butter, and powdered sugar to get it spot on. Great Success People!



My co-workers are still asking me to make these again and it's been months ago since I made them. They were light and loaded with flavor. I'll definitely keep them in rotation. :D

The BEST Caramel Pecan Carrot Cupcakes

I have been testing recipe off the internet for years and this is the first time that I’m leaving a review (Hope I am doing it correct 😉 ).

The reason I feel obligated to post a review is simply because these cupcakes were divine!

Perfectly moist and tasty cupcake with a superb silky cream cheese frosting. By far my very fav cupcake. I didn’t have a caramel sauce that was thin enough for a nice consistent drizzle, however I am thinking to try crumbed sponge-toffee the next time. Also I used one whole walnut half on each cupcake instead of chopped. I could not and would not touch the recipe for the frosting or cupcake – Perfection!
