Back to this though, these cupcakes were very good, but not particularly lemonly without the sauce on top. The lemon sauce which was equal parts lemon juice and sugar was a concentrated lemon taste that was really good. I had brought a couple along with me to a dinner with friends that I rarely see, but then two of the girls had decided to cancel. Instead, I brought it with me to the dinner still that I had planned but it was just a dinner between one high school friend and I. Also, I brought these with me on my flight back up north. School's finally starting and I'll be busy busy busy again. Hopefully I will be able to bake as much as I do now, but that is probably unlikely.

Look out for the next couple of weeks - I plan on making 21 different chocolate things in honor of my boyfriend's birthday who is turning 21 and for the Kiwanis Takeover [themed Mardi Gras]. I will try to start posting these Monday, in hopes that since he doesn't read my blog consistently, he won't read it now before he gets the package!

  1. making them cupcakes - what a cute idea! i agree, the glaze on top was supppperrrr concentrated (i used that exact word in my own post! :) Without that, it would have been a mild mild flavor.

  8. What a huge project you have ahead of yourself! I can not even imagine making 21 chocolate recipes "and" blogging about all of them but if anyone can do this, you can.

    Your cupcakes are adorable. The 2 friends canceling out at the last minute missed a fun treat =).

    Good luck with college starting back up. . . you are going to do great this semester too!

  11. Great idea to do do cupcakes! I agree - there wasn't a ton of lemon flavor without the syrup, but I still thought they were tasty.
