Blue Raspberry Cupcakes Recipe

Do you know what can help pass the time when you are stuck home because you haven’t quite been fever free for 24 full hours so you can’t return to school?
Baking.
Specifically, doing some semi-homemade baking.
Like these semi-homemade Blue Raspberry Cupcakes. So simple and fun to make, but also a little bit different than normal.

About Brett

I'm a 40 something lifestyle blogger living in Connecticut with my husband and our 3 kids, plus our two rescue pups. We love to hike, travel, play games, watch movies, and just be outside together! Having 3 active kids makes for a hectic schedule and I try to share content, recipes and other things that can help to make today's busy family life simpler, easier, or just plain more fun!

I started working full time at a local middle school in fall 2021 and some of my students are insistent that I am mean.

    Looks yummy!! I think I’ll leave out the food coloring and just make the frosting blue. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

    OH yummy. I think my daughter would absolutely love this idea, she is all for colorful food cooking and she is by far a better baker than this Mom… Yes. My 11 year old daughter bakes the most perfect of goodies while I make them either too hard or not fully baked through. Every Single Time.

    These look good. I think my boys would love them because of the color. I might have to give them a whirl. I hope you get to feeling better.
