These look delicious! Seriously mouth watering!
These came out delicious! There was just enough of a blueberry flavor that it wasn’t overpowering, which was perfect! And the blueberry jelly made it so that there really weren’t many whole blueberries, which is something I dislike about most blueberry recipes. I ended up doubling the blueberry jelly in the frosting, which gave it an even brighter purple color and more blueberry flavor. This made for a perfect cupcake recipe for my 3 year old’s birthday, who said she wanted a blueberry cake for her party! Everyone said the cupcakes came out really good
Yay Kyle! I’m so happy you liked the recipe. Tell your little one Happy Birthday from me♥
