Blueberry Pomegranate Cupcakes with Lemon Icing

I made the first stab at a new cupcake recipe today. Turned out okay. Not the best cupcakes ever, but not totally terrible either. Still needs work. Here are the pictures:

Jam & Re-topped

Cupcake with Jellies - but the jellies threw off the texture and were hard to cut, so they were trashed.

Filling!

Yummy.

I think they looked better than they tasted. I may try a different cake base next time and ditch some of the pomegranate ideas… Maybe blueberry cupcakes? We’ll see.

Yummy.

On Monday, we went to a cafe that had some yummy bakery items and we ate them today. You can only guess how happy my belly is today:

No blizzard today. More like a slush storm. :(

Work was uneventful. Got to Bob’s and made my famous banana split cupcakes for him to take to work as a thanks to his co-workers for switching shifts with him so much since we’ve started dating. Here they are before the chocolate drizzle and cherries:

Happy Icing

You’d think I’d remember to take a finished picture before he took them to work. But nope. I still have a few here that I can photograph, but I was a little sad I didn’t do the full shot. I hope they’re well received. :)

I also recorded episode #33 of the show. Check it out here if you’d like. It’s a little ramble-y though, that’s what we get with midnight recordings. :D

This is what is left of my birthday cupcakes from Bob. Though, it went down to 2 right after this shot was taken. :D

Other than eating cupcakes, I worked on some freelance today and just sort of bummed around. Pretty uneventful day.

Today was a day of unexpected cakes.

At work we had lunch with some of the reps, which was fun. Then we celebrated my birthday early with chocolate cake!

Tonight was knit night. I ordered my food and came back to sit down, only to pull out my chair and find unexpected cupcakes!

Heather picked them up from the Cupcakery, my favorite dessert place in St. Louis. I was super excited to see them. :) I got to have the “Graceland” cupcake which was banana cake with peanut butter icing. I also got a lemon drop one, which is my favorite of their cakes. Sooooo good. And sugared up.
