Oh I love the colors and pinned it to my Dessert board for later. They look delicious!!
Blueberry and lemonade??? I must try these! They look and sound super delicious.
I’ve never had a blueberry lemonade cupcake. The combination of the two sounds very flavorful!
I haven’t tried blueberries and lemons together in a cupcake but these pictures look amazing and now I totally want to try it. Sounds delicious!
Omg, these look amazing. I’ll have to try this for my birthday. I know it tastes amazing.
How many cupcakes does this recipe make?
it makes about 12
i think this would be really good with raspberry instead of blueberry, too.
How does the frosting turn blue if it’s just powdered suger , butter and lemonade
Would this work for a cake? I’m just not sure what the cooking times/temperature would be. Really want to make this for my daughters birthday cake!
Hi Briana,
I am not sure on making this as a cake. We have only made them as cupcakes. You may be able to use the same recipe and change the timing to make the cake but we haven’t tried it.
