Of course I had to bake some cupcakes to celebrate my big sister's 29th birthday. She is a big fruit fan so I searched for a recipe that featured summer berries. I stumbled upon some beautiful cupcake photos and I decided to take a stab at recreating the cupcakes. I started off with sugarcoating the fresh raspberries, blackberries, and organic mint leaves. The blackberries had a slight bitter taste so the sugar helped to balance out the tartness. I chose my go-to magnolia bakery vanilla cupcakes recipe and then made a simple vanilla buttercream for the topping. I was incredibly happy with how the cupcakes turned out. Sugared berries can really be a work of art. Happy Birthday Sarah!
