Baking Highs and Lows =D

I haven't done a food post in a while, so I thought I'd share my baking snafoos and successes as of late!

For Adam's birthday, I decided to make lemon cupcakes with a blueberry lemon frosting. It was a disaster from the cupcakes to the frosting- and sadly I used the cute and semi-expensive cupcake liners. Adam ate them nonetheless, but I used too much butter, not enough flour, and didn't account for elevation. And I have no idea what happened with the frosting- it was supposed to be a buttercream but it never turned creamy- mostly soft and oily. Possibly because I didn't have a hand mixer at the time. Now I do, thanks to Betty!

Last week, raspberries were on sale at King Soopers- 4 containers for $5! Really great deal so I couldn't resist buying a bunch, and then I scoured the internet for a good recipe where I could put those raspberries to use (though we did eat a lot of them fresh!). I ended up making a recipe that I saw on Smitten Kitchen for raspberry breakfast bars. I cut down on the amount of butter since it called for a total 1.5 sticks of butter- so mine came out more crumbly but that's ok!

I'm not sure what else to bake next...if you have suggestions, let me know!!
