A Purple and Yellow Event

Who knew that little Mac was ready to become a Big Mac? (Don't kill me, E! :P)

Ellen's son, Mac, has graduated and is going to move onto grad school at Louisiana State University! The excitement called for a party. The party called for cupcakes. Thus, the party called for Jeanette. (Those last few sentences could almost have been fashioned into logic statements for my Geometry kids! Inductive reasoning, anyone?)

The inspiration: LSU's school colors, purple and yellow. Ellen originally requested mini cupcakes with purple and yellow frosting. Knowing me, I spent several days thinking about how I could make purple and yellow cupcakes in a different way.

The result: Blueberry Lemon Cupcakes (Get it??). Follow the link to see the recipe! I didn't freeze the blueberries, and I made a lemon buttercream frosting (because I didn't have cream cheese).

I made two batches because I had forgotten the request for mini ones, so here are the big ones:

Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the mini ones. But, here is a picture of how I added the blueberries in the minis. I had to crush up blueberries and swirl them into the cupcake for the purple effect:

Congratulations, Mac :)
