My inspirational grandmother just celebrated her 90th
birthday. There aren’t too many gifts
that you can buy someone who had lived such an incredible life as she has. Plus, I can’t really beat my Christmas
present to her which was a painting I did of her and my grandfather. So I decided that cupcakes would be a perfect
gift that she could share with everyone.
I found the cake stand at a thrift shop for $3, which was a price I
could not refuse. A few days later my
mother and I found cupcake wrappers that matched the stand perfectly. I figured a lemon cupcake would capture the
freshness of Spring and compliment the primary coloured flowers. I found this recipe and decided to fill them
full of lemon pastry filling. The result
was far better than I had ever imagined it to be. The cupcakes were a hit, I even overheard
someone said they were the best cupcake they had ever eaten and that they would
gladly pay money for them. Hands down
the best compliment I have ever received when it comes to my baking.
