Mouth watering lemon and sweet fresh blackberries combine to make more than your ordinary cupcakes. Not that I don't adore buttercream blogs, but sometimes you just want something a little different.

A cake that comes out of the oven already filled - with a delicious homemade blackberry compote!

I am all over this gorgeous tart. First of all, anything with blueberries *and* blackberries scores mega bonus points in my books, and since moving down to Mexico I have become a big fan of limes, so the lime curd filling in a buttery tart crust - well that just seals the deal!

I think everyone is getting one last berry fix before fall...recipes packed full of summer berries are popping up everywhere this week! This gorgeous pie is no exception - it "highlights yummy summer berries and makes a fantastic base for a big scoop of vanilla ice cream." Sigh. That's the epitome of end-of-summer bliss!

Peach cobbler is a summer staple, and this one is a kicked-up version of the classic. Sean soaks his peaches in bourbon, throws blackberries into the mix, and covers it all with a molasses biscuit crust. Southern eating indeed!

Pavlovas are such simple and easy-to-make desserts that always get oooohs and ahhhs - and are so very delightful with fresh summer berries.  Heather bakes these chocolate beauties, fills them with chocolate mascarpone mousse, tops them with local wild blackberries, and then surrounds them with a blackberry coulis mixed with creme anglaise. How lovely!
