Lemon Madness

Last night was a little crazy... from dealing with a tummy ache to a hamster on his way to hamster heaven. However, in true mom fashion, I had cupcakes to bake and deliver to school today, and of course I couldn't just do a boxed cake. Hey, there will be leftovers, right? So, let's do it right. Winning the cake walk should be tasty. ;)

I picked up a box of lemons, and was needing some lemon cake of some kind. Unfortunately, I didn't have poppy seeds laying around (what?!), so that was out. So, here's some things I found, and the recipes I actually used. And yes, they are delicious, and I did lick the bowl. Twice.

Lemon Meringue Cupcakes
(I used this one, omitted the lemon curd, since I just didn't have it in me. I also used sour cream in place of the buttermilk, as I didn't have any. Frosting I used was right out of the Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book.)

{Honorable Mentions}

Seasonal Spotlight: Meyer Lemons (from thekitchn.com, one of my faves)

20 Lemon Dessert Recipes (from thekitchn.com)

Lemon Cloud Cupcakes (from Sophistimom... I will use this one next time - looks yummy!)

Five Star Buttermilk Cupcakes with Lemon Frosting (from Whipped... let's just say that name is so fun for a food blog!)

Lickety-Split Lemon Cream Icing (from thekitchn.com... only reason I didn't use this was I needed more than it yields, but looks fab!)
