Cupcakes, Bridal Shower Edition

I was delighted when planning for my soon to be sister-in-law's shower that we decided to serve cupcakes for dessert, and I knew just the place to find the right recipes for cupcakes!  Annie's Eats is a blog that I turn to time and time again when I need a recipe, especially cupcake recipes, that I know won't disappoint.  And, boy oh boy, did these cupcakes NOT disappoint!  Both recipes used for the shower originate from Annie's blog and I had so much fun creating these delights for the shower. 

The first recipe I used was one I selected for the flavor and for the presentation.  Because my brother and soon to be sister-in-law's wedding colors are blue and yellow, the Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes seemed like a great choice!  The cake was moist and tangy and the lemon cream cheese frosting was so delicious I was trying to think about how I could get away with eating it all by itself. :)  The complete recipe can be found here.

The second type of cupcake I made (because as my friend Catherine knows, you need to have variety :) ) was also an Annie's Eats recipe, which my friend, Rachel, has made many times before.  I'd rather eat Double Chocolate Raspberry Cupcakes for the rest of my life than anything else.  :)  This recipe is for the chocoholic in most of us.  Not only are these cupcakes delicious, they are oh-so-cute!

I wish I had one of these cupcakes right now.  :)
