To celebrate Mother’s Day, we thought outside the cupcake pan and used honey, lavender and fresh berries for a mother/child experiment. Here’s the mom: honey cake with blackberry lavender compote and vanilla buttercream.

And the baby: a honey cupcake topped with blackberry lavender buttercream.

Of course, our mail order system is a little shaky, so our moms can’t actually eat these. But when we’re chowing down, we’ll totally be thinking about them. Happy Mother’s Day!
