I'm bored. Let's make lemon cake!

Once upon a time there was a girl named Maddie who didn't want to study on a Sunday afternoon. And that's how this pretty pink lemon cake happened. I'm proud to say that this cake is included in an article about me in my school's newspaper.

Top layer: lemon blueberry. Middle layer: lemon lemon. Bottom layer: lemon strawberry.

Each layer is filled with this incredible vanilla frosting and super tart lemon curd.

It's all decorated in pretty swirls of this cream cheese frosting.  That recipe isn't actually for a frosting - it's really a no-bake cheesecake - but it's delicious, so I'm not complaining.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to sit here and pretend that I didn't eat this cake for breakfast every day for a week.

Baked Alaska Cupcakes

When tasked with coming up with something delicious for a dinner party, I decided to make baked Alaska. I wasn't sure exactly what it was, but I was pretty sure it had something to do with meringue and ice cream, so that sounded good enough for me. I did some homework and decided to make the tasty treat in miniature.

Pretty little chocolate cupcakes hollowed out

Add in a scoop of strawberry ice cream (homemade, of course)

Pipe on the meringue and go crazy with the blowtorch. 

They were absolutely delicious and everyone loved them.

Although, in retrospect, serving them frozen solid right out of the freezer probably wasn't the best idea.

 I suppose I'll just have to make them again.
