Carmelized Lemon Tart

Recipe from Martha Stewart Pies and Tarts Cookbook

This lemon tart is a new favorite with the bruleed top.  I am definitely investing in an actual kitchen torch so that carmelizing the top could be done a lot quicker.

Easter Treats

I can't decide what to make this weekend; so I rounded up a few ideas just in case you're looking for some baking inspiration for Easter as well.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake  

Lemon Bars  

Carrot Cupcakes

Lemon Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Lemon Chiffon Cake

Lemon Chiffon Cake

Our lemon tree out back gave us lemons just in time to make a cake for my mom for Mother's day.  I pulled out all the stops on this one as I never made neither a lemon chiffon cake (adapted from All Recipes) nor lemon curd (from Martha Stewart's Cupcakes) nor italian meringue butter cream (from Cake Central)!!!

Not sure I'm ready to move away from the american butter cream frosting for IMBC yet.  It was a dream to cover the cake with, very smooth.  However it tasted too buttery, even at room temperature, for me.
