Lemons and Blackberries

Cupcake of the day:
- vanilla almond cupcakes with a blackberry preserve filling and lemon buttercream frosting.
mmmm, delicious. I have been trying to make lemon cupcakes or frosting for a long time now, but never really had the right ingredients at the right nome. but today, it was my goal. While out running errands, we finally made it to a new baking shop, where i would love to buy out and take up residence...AMAZING. well anyways, i found a wonderful new recipe book, with awesome cupcake ideas, i didn't even know where to start, including savory cupcakes, like pizza, CORNDOG, and my fave: bloody mary (happening this weekend). So while reading my new inspiration book, i realized, no more messing around, it was time for the standing mixer of my dreams, and my lovely mother said she'd split it with me! so off we went on a mission. and guess what... MY PERFECT MIXER a RED - profession series 600 kitchen aid mixer available at macy*s, but of course just my luck, on presale, so i have to wait until wednesday, so even though i hated doing it, i waited... see you saturday love of my life.

anyways, we got home and it was time to bake so I thought, I will try this pink lemonade cupcake.... UMMMM it failed, so miserably... i couldn't even take a picture just straight to the trash.. but with no raspberries left, I went for an old favorite, my vanilla almond cupcake. Not often do i find the will to redo something once i have failed, but cupcakes are my new favorite. hahah. 





well, it is time to indulge in Dance Moms... Quality Television!

new beer tomorrow! tonight it is back to blonde bombshell for the night! love to whoever reads this.
