Cupcakes composed of lemon cake decorated with a cream cheese frosting, flavored with bluberry sauce.

To make the blueberry sauce, you will need 100g of blueberries and 50g of sugar. Bring the 2 ingredients to a boil over medium heat. Then, reduce the heat and keep stirring until the mixture becomes thick enough to cover the back of a wooden spoon. You have to allow to cool completely before adding it to the cream cheese frosting. You can replace the blueberry sauce with blueberry jam.
