Deconstructed blueberry pie cupcakes and recipe link

These are Deconstructed Blueberry Pie Cupcakes by blogger The Purple Spoon via Flickr. From the post, where there are more photos, instructions and the recipe!



If you’ve followed my last few cupcake posts you may have noticed that I’ve been tweaking my vanilla cupcake recipe each time. I’ve been slowly trying to create a slightly more moist vanilla cupcake without losing the texture and flavor of the originals that I love. I think this may be the one! This version has almond flavoring but that can be swapped out for vanilla bean paste for other recipes. The whipped cream cheese frosting is heavenly, its lighter than a traditional cream cheese icing but still has the flavor and holds up surprisingly well to piping-more so than the traditional. The blueberry pie filling is a delicious blend of tangy and sweet and spicy and pairs beautifully with the creamy frosting and almond flavor from the cupcakes.

Want your favorite cupcake? Ask for it and bakeries will listen!

Yes, it's true: customer demand does influence which flavors bakeries offer. Witness Let Them Eat Cupcakes in Honolulu, Hawaii. From their Facebook page: "Cupcake rule No. 17: If at least 10 people ask for it, we'll make it. So, back by popular demand: our blueberries and cream cupcake." So today, these were their flavors: cream cheese-filled red velvet, double chocolate, chocolate-peanut butter-pretzel, Nutella, lemon, spiced pumpkin and today's special: BLUEBERRIES & CREAM. You can also stay up to date by following @LTEatCupcakes on Twitter.

Gorgeous glazed cupcakes in blueberry, strawberry, mint and cantaloupe flavors!

I'll be honest - when I first saw the photo on top in our Flickr cupcake pool, which now has over 106,000 photos, if you can believe that, I thought they were macarons!



They had that round, colorful look to them. But they are, in fact, cupcakes, and gorgeous ones at that. The flavors are blueberry, strawberry, mint and cantaloupe! Cantaloupe...a melon I love, but I've never had a cantaloupe cupcake. Find out how to make them from always-creative blogger Sugar Swings! Serve Some, who was inspired by Martha Stewart Living and offers step by step instructions on how to get your fruit glaze just right.

Blueberry lemon cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting and recipe link

I love how fresh these cupcakes from How Does She look! Click through for the recipe. Sarah writes: I really can’t think of a better flavor partner for blueberries than lemon. For this recipe, make sure that your ingredients are all at room temperature. No cheating or you could have some extra lumpiness and toughness to deal with.

Jelly bean cupcakes (and a huge cupcake cake with edible jelly bean liner) gone wild by the one and only Amanda Cupcake!

No offense to the other entrants in the Jelly Belly Cupcake Challenge (I haven't seen any other entries), but I would vote for food blogger Amanda Cupcake, who made not just one but three outrageous cupcake jelly bean entries! Wow. I'm in awe. And I want the s'mores one! Do check out her post for more on these spectacular entries. Photos via Flickr, captions in italics by Amanda Cupcake. The 5 finalists will be announced July 18th!


Giant Cupcake with an Edible Jelly Belly Liner. This whole thing is a cupcake. But the Liner is made out of Edible Candy Melts. (I molded it using a giant cupcake pan) Then I "glued" each Jelly Belly to the Cupcake liner using melted chocolate.

Amanda's description: I made a "blue velvet" cupcake that tastes like a blueberry jelly belly. The cupcake itself is blue. The frosting is blue. Decorated with a delicious carmelized candy bridge, some blueberry Jelly Belly beans..and topped with a fresh blueberry!
