Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes

This week I found myself looking for a creative pick me up. My normal routine is to make cupcakes... it's the fine like between precise therapeutic measuring (HA like I measure everything precisely) and a yummy way to make something that looks pretty. I however, am still winding down from all the goodies over the holidays and wanted something light.... okay lets be honest, I'm dying for summer, for no cold fog and icy windshields.... for fruit salads and picnics.... oh summer! This longing lead me to my cupcake decision. lemon cake with blueberries (a close relative to a muffin) with creamcheese frosting and a pretty blueberry jelly swirl.  They were a hit... and probably one of the prettiest cupcakes I've made yet, even though I piped the frosting through a gallon sized ziplock bag this time (this was nerve-racking for me).. Part of me is still baffled that I didn't end up mixing the frosting and jelly together in the bag on accident... anyway, I think they turned out great.
