hello, cupcake!

In honor of Labor Day and summer's subsequent conclusion, today I present you with:

Vanilla Cupcake with Lavender Cream Filling and Citrus Cream Cheese Frosting

Level of Ease: Moderate. (Although, surprisingly, the hardest part was getting my hands on some culinary lavender.)

Taste: Perfectly lovely.  Fairly sweet, but the lavender and citrus were both subtle and complementary.  The end result was quite elegant, adult, and perfect for a summertime party.
