We had a very dark and stormy Saturday. It wasn't your typical summer storm — one with staggered rounds of rain and thunder sharply punctuated by sunshiny breaks in the clouds, but instead a good full day of unrelenting sheets of rain, slashes of lightning, and thunder that shook the house. I would put a generous layer of fresh raspberry sauce in between the cake layers and cover the entire thing in pink buttercream. A garnish of a single fresh raspberry on top of the swirl of pink icing is the perfect finishing touch. These Lemon Cupcakes with Raspberry Buttercream Frosting are absolutely delicious!
