    My family and friends loved, loved this recipe. I made it exactly as it is written with the exception of decreasing the amount of powdered sugar to 8 cups (2 lbs. Excellent cupcake recipe. Will make it again using a little more lemon zest in the cupcake, and try it with other fruits as well.

    I LOVE this cupcake! I have made these several times and each time they are a big hit wherever I take them. I did add a bit more lemon zest to both the cupcake and the icing and we did not use all of the sugar for the icing but still a winner! I think I plan to use the batter without the lemon or blueberry and see if it makes a good vanilla cake!

    I made these for the LSU vs. Alabama game and everyone absolutely loved them! The lemon and blueberry add such a refreshing flavor, and the icing is a nice sweet and tangy finishing touch. I have a recipe for a lemon filling which I filled them with, and I thought it added a nice touch. Don't be worried if you batter is thick! They bake very nicely and are moist a delicious. The thickness helps to compensate for the extra liquid from the blueberries. Definitely a must-try!

    This cupcake is so light and the lemon is so refreshing . The icing is a suprise as it is colored that pretty blue but is such a nice lemon taste. I have made these several times for events and they are always such a hit!!!

    The cupcakes definately tasted more like muffins, but they were a good canvas for the super sweet frosting. I made some adjustments to the frosting- I used the juice of 3 small lemons and a few drops of pure lemon extract to bring out more lemon flavor. I also only used 8 cups of powdered sugar and put some blue food coloring in the frosting. Topped the cupcakes with 3 small blueberries for a fresh garnish. They were yummy, but for a Cupcake Wars cupcake, I was expecting more. I did find that a couple of my guests were just licking the frosting off and not eating the cupcake....

    These are absolutely amazing cupcakes! and the frosting is not as sweet as you might think using all that sugar. I have actually tried these from the gals that won cupcake wars, in the shop the icing is a pal yellow color not this blue that is pictured. I think that was just for the Tim Burton theme. Just printed out the recipe plan to make them this weekend!!

    For the frosting, I cut the butter and sugar in half. Still really good but did not look anything like to photo.
