Blackberry Lime Cupcakes

Key Lime Cupcakes with Blackberry Filling and Blackberry Frosting

Made these cupcakes yesterday afternoon and I am so happy with how they turned out! They are delicious and I really like the subtle lime zest in the cupcake. I would give this cupcake a 4/5. :) I took them to a church thing last night and a lot of people said they loved them!

Basic update

So here is a basic update on my life and all the highlights of this summer/early fall. It has been an insane summer! Probably the best one I have had yet, mind you I am only 15 so it's not like I have lived a great amount of years, but I do have many memories from other past summers. So many things have happened I don't exactly know where to start. I think I am going to start in late June:
In late June Julia and I went with my eldest sister Natasha to a camp she was helping run for 4 days.

                                                                                   It was so fun! I got to see a ton of friends I had not seen in a while when I was there. We got there early Thursday morning and unloaded our stuff into the cabin and then Natasha had to go have a meeting with some others that were helping with the camp. So during their meeting Julia and I went to the park and sat on the swings and talked, Julia got up from the swing to do something and fell abruptly to the ground and started to cry- long story cut short- She retore her ligament from when she tore it the past winter. It hurt her to much to walk around so Julia and I went back to the cabin and I kept her company.

                                                                                                           We listened to music on my ipod, ate the freezies that a guy gave us to use as an ice pack for her leg, painted our nails, laughed, and ate junk food for 5 hours! Its was an awesome weekend. :) Shortly after camp Natasha's fiance flew in from Germany because their wedding was in 2 weeks! A week before their wedding Natasha's fiance's family flew in to help with the wedding, it was so nice having them here, I miss them a lot. And then on July 7th/12 the wedding came. It was so beautiful and Natasha looked stunning. It was a wonderful day.

                                           A little more than a week later Natasha and her husband left for Germany which is now where they reside and are happily living. In mid June before Natasha left, Rachel, Natasha, Julia, my best friend Emily, and I went to Carly Rae Jepsen's concert which was being held less than a hour away from where I live! It was soo fun!



*For anyone who do not know who Carly Rae Jepsen is, this is her hit single "Call Me Maybe"
