Grain-Free Vanilla Cupcakes with Blackberry-Vanilla Buttercream

Grain-Free Vanilla Cupcakes with Blackberry-Vanilla Buttercream | kumquatblog.com @kumquatblog recipe

when i started this blog…

my boy was 3.

last week he turned ELEVEN!

looking back on all these years, all the moves, places we’ve called home, sisters we’ve added to the family, deployments, and changes… one thing remains true. my son is amazing.

he rolls with it all, despite craving predictability. he stands up to help, despite wishing he could tend to himself. he is always full of laughs, love, and smiles.

he loves technology, food, basketball, building things, and talking. he’s obsessed with cars. and he loves amethysts… his birthstone.

so these cupcakes were his birthday celebration cakes. grain-free vanilla cupcakes with blackberry-vanilla buttercream. complete with edible amethysts.

oh, the places you’ll go, sweet boy. i love being your mom. it is an honor.

these grain-free vanilla cupcakes with blackberry-vanilla buttercream are a delicious celebration of the one you love! Click To Tweet
