Ooh, I love lemon, I'll have to try this one! I especially love the lemon drop on top. Very pretty!
Did you know Dec. 15th is "National Lemon Cupcake Day"? I don't know if I can wait until then to try these, though. Plus, lemon seems more perfectly Spring-like, doesn't it? :)
where do all these delicious things go that you make. i'll take some of them off your hands. ;)
