Blueberry Cupcake

One of my goals for the summer is to make all kinds of different cupcakes. I have tons of different ideas, and I can't wait to try them. On Saturday, I made Blueberry cupcakes. Although I wanted to make blueberry lemon cupcakes, I couldn't get them to have a strong lemon flavor. Since I didn't have enough sour cream, I did half milk and half sour cream. Because of the few changes I made, I was a little worried about how the cupcakes would turn out. Thankfully, they turned out wonderfully. For the frosting, I did a lemon cream cheese frosting. Because of the heat, I could only frost five at a time before the frosting started melting. I finished the cupcakes off with a blueberry. With one bit, I fell in love with these cupcakes. I am definitely go to keep this recipe. I brought them to a brat fry I did on Sunday. I had to keep them in a cooler, so the frosting didn't melt. They were a delightful treat for a hot day, perfect for summertime. I am excited to make more cupcakes this summer.

Graduation Cards


Wow, it's been a long time. I've just forgotten to post all my creations on my blog. Now that it's summer, I have a lot more time on my hands. I can't wait to start crafting. Tonight I sat down and made tons of graduation cards. Since we are going to four graduations tomorrow, I decided to make graduation cards. I looked online for a template and printed out a few. All I had to do was paper clip the template to a piece of paper and cut it out. It was so easy. Maybe a little time consuming, but definitely worth the work. I love how they turned out. Can't wait to make more.
