​Well I feel a little embarrassed because it's officially Fall and the heart of pumpkin season and am about to post a recipe that is going to seem out of place.  The truth is that I was cleaning out my blog posts and I JUST found this blog that I had written on raspberry lemon cupcakes that I COMPLETELY forgot to post - Three months ago when I made them.

​I debated whether or not to even bother posting it now because these cupcakes just don't seem to fit in with my other Fall recipes on the blog right now but honestly, they were too good NOT to post them.  So here I go - posting a raspberry lemon cupcake recipe in the middle of October and hoping that my blog friends will understand.  I'm sure that those of you who know me will COMPLETELY understand how this could happen to me.  (I tend to take on a LOT of different tasks all at one time and it's not uncommon for me to forget things.)

These cupcakes really were delicious and even though they may not seem appropriate for Fall, I hope that you will give them a try.
