Berry Fresh! Tastes like summer!

I made these cupcakes in May for a birthday party. They were fresh and light and perfect to get me feeling like summer! Too bad we've had roughly 3 weeks of pure rain which have since removed all summer feelings from me.

Here they are Lemon cupcakes filled with fresh raspberry and icing puree. So yummy! I purchased a 'Betty Crockers Best Cupcakes recipe book', and these little beauties were in there. So many amazing cupcake recipes that I need to try, and for those of you who think, I don't want to make cupcakes from scratch! It just seems like too much work, then these recipes are for you! They all use cake mixes with other things added to them. For example, this particular recipe called for a white cake mix and to make it lemon, you just mix in lemon zest. Also, the icing was the tubs of Betty Crocker pre-made stuff, again just adding things to it. So easy, and incredibly tasty!


Nothing better than biting into a cupcake and being surprised with raspberry goodness.

    Ahhh... I'm SO sorry. I just discovered there were a ton of requests for the recipe! It is on the betty crocker website at the link that someone else provided. Again, sorry! I don't tend to write all the recipes I use on here! Hope you enjoyed the blog though! And Melba Toast is right, I do have a cupcake fillin icing tip. : ) I'll try and be a little more vigilant in looking at the comments!
