I think maybe from the blackberry seeds or perhaps too many blackberries added? It just didn’t blend together well, and was not smooth like the icing in your photos. It still tasted good though.

Grainy, like from the powdered sugar? Or from the seeds of the blackberries?

I made the recipe exactly according to the directions, however I noticed the icing did not seem to really blend together once i put the blackberries in and mixed it with the hand mixer – it was kind of grainy no matter how much I mixed it, and I even added a little bit of lime juice as you suggest in the recipe. Any thoughts on what might have gone wrong? The only thing I can think of was maybe the icing was too soft?
Thanks for a great recipe – I love using blackberries in baking…
/Ali

My cupcakes came out more of a brownie than a cupcake. Very dense and fudgy. They are delicious! But not really sure why

I only doubled the recipe but It turned out too runny. Wasn’t able to get it thicker. Looked nothing like the pictures you have. Tasted yummy so Ty.

It is just me and my husband and I bake A LOT! Lol.
So much that my husband struggles to keep up lol oooopsy; my joy of baking seems insatiable lol.
Utilizing your site will be so rewarding and fun for me! Especially when I get an itch to do homemade desserts!
Thank you so so much!
I LOVE ALL things Berry flavored and adding chocolate is so yummy.
I’m very happy to be able to try your recipe here.

I cook for myself — why would I want 12 cupcakes, or even 8 cupcakes? These recipes are perfectly sized for those of us who are solo cooks.

It tastes great, but when I pipe it onto my cupcakes it runs right off. I added more powdered sugar before I saw your comment about more sugar will make it worse. I put it in the fridge for an hour and when I took it out it looked firm, but then melted off of my cupcakes again. Any other suggesting?

Probably had the butter at the wrong temperature to begin with. Then, once you add the juice/ liquid from the blackberries, it can be hard to recover. Did you wash and DRY your berries very well?

We even read the comments and put it back in the fridge and beat again, yet still, it did not work. Followed the instructions to exactly as written. The cupcakes and frosting were delicious but not pretty or anything that resembled frosting or was of the right consistency. Help!
