Recipe: Blackberry Cobbler Cupcakes

I have fond childhood memories of my mom's blackberry cobbler. A cobbler that started with wild blackberries, picked in a local field. Which honestly, is a concept I can't even imagine now as an adult. Picking wild blackberries! There's certainly no field of wild blackberries anywhere near my home. And if there was, I would have a million question about these wild berries. Did they belong to a local farmer? Were they safe to eat? Were they actually blackberries? Never the less, it is a wonderful childhood memory. One that I won't let my logical, adult mind over analyze and ruin.

It's not summer time without backyard BBQ's, impromptu picnics, and lazy afternoons by the pool. With warm weather rolling in, I just want to stretch out on a blanket, feel the grass under my feet, and relax all my worries away over good food with great friends. I may not have a backyard to barbecue in, but that won't stop me from spending endless hours at the park overlooking the crisp waters of the Pacific Northwest. I am a strong believer that no get together is complete with out dessert, so I have developed this fresh, rustic cake to bring to any casual, summer gathering.
