What do you do when you find out that party you apparently RSVPed for months ago and promptly forgot about is in two hours? Well, if you're me, you get your act in gear and make cupcakes. This is a fairly simple recipe made mostly with ingredients I usually have in the house. I did have to make a special trip for the blueberries, but fresh blueberries are worth a special trip, if you ask me. We ended up late for the party, but for some reason I'm usually forgiven when I hand over a fresh batch of baked goods.
Both the blueberry and the lemon frostings are simple American style buttercreams. Often that much sugar can just be overwhelming, but in this case the tartness of the lemons and blueberries evened it out.
My husband's favorite flavor is lemon, so the cake recipe is a trusty, fairly foolproof recipe I've made more than a few times before. Perfect for a day you thought you were going to spend lounging around the house.
