First Time Baker

I am an expert baker. Of course I am referring to baking out of a box. I decided that it was time to try baking from scratch and went with a blueberry cupcake with a buttercream frosting. I am not going to say I didn't come across any problems because I did; however, the final product was quite yummy! This recipe was inspired by a pinterest postings (http://pinterest.com/pin/253186810272988167/).
