I found a delicious
looking cupcake/muffin. Since blueberries are everywhere – I decided to pick up
a few containers of fresh blueberries and try my hand with the blueberry
cupcakes. If they were a winner – they would be sold at Erin’s Deli, the last
few of days of May, and even around the 4th of July.
Following the recipe
was easy. I doubled the recipe to make
24 cupcakes. I lined the cupcake holders with paper cupcakes that were
red/white/blue and had stars on them. I filled the cupcake holder ¾ of the way.
When I finished, I placed the cupcakes in the oven and baked them at 325, until
they were golden and done.
The cupcakes – looked
great. After one cooled – I broke off a piece and sampled it. Mhm…I could have
eaten the whole cupcake, without frosting. But I didn’t.
I placed the cream
cheese that I had out and the butter and mixed them together until both were
creamed. Then I added the powdered sugar, vanilla, and a few tablespoons of
heavy cream. I beat the mixture for about two minutes.
Then I placed some
frosting on the rest of the cupcake and sampled it. It was perfect. I promptly
ate the entire cupcake.
Later, my daughter, the
Chef, piped the frosting on the cupcakes, and I added the blueberries and the
American flag.
Ta Dum…the cupcakes
were done and looked quite patriotic. And having sampled both, I knew how good
those cupcakes were going to be a winner down at the Deli!
