This weekend's cake had more to do with convenience than anything else. We had left over blueberries and an orange, some powdered sugar and sour cream- and bazonga we get our blueberry cupcakes.
From swollen feet, chocolate fairs, birthday dinners, and church- I am worn out - and gasp I almost did not make the cake Saturday morning. As Evalyn is flashing her belly because her 2Ts no longer fit her, I am definitely feeling the pressure of her second birthday coming up in eight days. Pressure is not the right word, more like, oh my god, where did my baby go? Who is this girl? And why is she so tall? (Check that- we all know why she is so tall.) So the cake had to be a no-brainer- I made it, baked it, frosted it, and ate it all in thirty minutes, so this cake definitely won out for its speed.
Besides blueberries and orange rind, the cake called for flour, butter, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and baking powder. The frosting was powdered sugar and sour cream- and the cupcakes were topped off with a single blueberry.
Take a look!
Here are the book's cupcakes:
Here are my cupcakes (I did more powdered sugar than sour cream for the frosting... it just seemed nasty to do too much sour cream).
Off to wrap presents for Evie's birthday!
