Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Frosting

March 16, 2011
I gave myself a break this week. I needed it. Started to feel a little under the weather. I needed to de-stress a bit today and what can be better than baking for leisure?

A first with Pierre Herme lemon cake

November 22, 2010
I bought Pierre Herme's book and I am totally in love with that guy.
