Chocolate meet vanilla.

I guess it was just one of them days...... :D


CHOCOLATE CUPCAKE with VANILLA BUTTERCREAM FROSTING


My first time frosting with a piping bag.  If you tilt your head 15 degrees to the left...and maybe squint your right eye just a tad, you will see that they all kind of look the same.....



Lemon. Lemon. And more lemon...with just a hint of vanilla.

Last week, I was gifted with a lemons.  Hand picked the night before.  :)  What's a girl to do with a whole bag of lemons straight off the tree? BAKE OF COURSE.  Let me introduce to you....

my VANILLA CUPCAKE with a LEMON CURD FILLING and LEMON BUTTERCREAM FROSTING. 

I initially planned to make a simple vanilla cupcake with a lemon buttercream frosting.  But when I took them out of the oven, I thought they looked a little bit plain.  And then lemon curd was born.  

Vanilla cupcake with lemon curd? Or eggs...sunny side up....
