Mo's Blueberry Lemon Cupcakes with Luscious Lemon Frosting

My friend Mo made this recipe into a divine cake a few weeks ago and I it was amazing. Well, if amazing doesn't do it justice. The cake was very moist and fruity but it still was rich and satisfying!  The buttercream was the best lemon cream cheese buttercream I have EVER tasted. Mo allowed me to take a little from the bowl as she was frosting the cakes, I couldn't get enough of this rich and sinfully creamy frosting. It was a perfect balance of rich and sweet. The lemon zest made the buttercream light and fruity but it the perfect lemon cream cheese buttercream.  I can not gush about this buttercream enough! When the cake was served it was just perfect and my (rather large) slice disappeared too quickly. 

Calamity Kate gets a little Crazy

Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie Pie  

I have been a little pie-crazy lately. Well, pie crazy doesn't even give you an idea on how pie crazy I have become. I have many more pies I haven't shared with you. I used to be afraid to make pies and pie crust was too difficult. So I baked other treats and for many years the only pies I made were chicken pot pies. But since I have been over running CKK with pies (more to come) I decided to take a short pie break and we will return to our normally scheduled program of cupcakes.  And now back to the show... 

It is a Wonderful Day for Pie

Raccoons no S'more

S'mores always make me think of summer and the last year I was in Girl Scouts and end of the summer fateful camping trip (sounds like a Nancy Drew Book.)
