Lemon and wild berries muffins

Whenever I am in the mood for something sweet and baked, but have no powers or the mood for preparing and baking a cake, I go for cupcakes.I know that sounds silly because the same batch can do either a whole cake or cupcakes.But the idea of deviding it into cups looks more simple to me,I might be talking out of despair (Eight months pregnant, do I have the power or the mood to do anything? don't know.)
I had the recipe for these cupcakes from a collegue of mine at work.Instead of the whipped cream with white chocolate that tops those beautiful creatures,I strongly advice you to use a cream cheese frosting.It engages very well with the lemony taste and the wild berries.(I made the whipped cream frosting because I was too lazy to make the cream cheese icing)

Happy Baking!
