EAT – Lemon Raspberry Cupcakes (+recipe video)
I am clearly in a cupcake mood, 2 cupcake recipes in a row… look out!! Still rolling with the Valentines theme and I think these are gorgeous gems to celebrate a day of love.
If I were to be totally honest here (and I guess that is the point of this writing venue) I have not been exactly in the mood to celebrate love. Testing Valentines Day recipes may seem a bit silly when my own heart is a little broken these days, but truth be told I love dreaming up healthy ways of showering your sweet with sweets and I want all those around me to cherish the love they have in their lives, to celebrate love. I could break into a little Moulin Rouge smash up of “Truth, Beauty, Love, and Freedom” but I’ll spare you all. Make these cupcakes for me, and know that I created the recipe with love for love and about love. Watch the video to see the full tutorial and leave a comment below, i’d “love” to hear from you!
