if life gives you lemons...

With a day off from school, and hyped on the magic of snow, I decided to bake today. I started with a lemon cream cupcake, then a quarter inch of fresh homemade lemon curd, topped with an airy swirl of meringue topping. Sweet and fluffy, these lemony summer cupcakes juxtapose the wintry weather perfectly.

iced and spiced

I've always enjoyed baking, and when I came across this recipe for chai tea cupcakes, I had to try it out. Rather than the buttercream, I chose to make a spiced cream cheese frosting instead. They were delicious.
