Lemon-almond cupcakes



Life is uncertain.  Eat dessert first.

 I'm a big fan of all things lemon and almond, so i thought, combining the two things in a cupcake might be wonderful! These are the sweeteies i was talking about in the other post and if you feel like baking this weekend - give it a try! 

The topping is invented by me and tastes very good on toasted bread as well. It's a mix of cream cheese, some whipped cream, lemon juice, a bit of sugar and a few spoonful of lemon curd.
As for the dough, you can use the recipe here.

I'm so glad the weekend is here for i've been tired all week! It's supposed to be a sunny one and we have planned: shopping at the farmers market, a barbecue with friends, some gardening ns maybe a lovely walk in the vineyards. What are you up to lovelies?

P:S.: Does anyone know, where in the new blogger surface i can type in my tags for the posts? I just don't find it!

  6. Hello sweet Martina, Your dessert looks and sound so yummy! I hope you enjoy your weekend! Your plans sound wonderful! I plan on sewing! Have a beautiful day and a fun weekend! xo~Paula... Are you looking for where you add labels to your post? If so, you look to the right on the page you are doing your new post on, you will see Post Settings, and under it is labels. I had to find it the other day too! Hope this helps!

  8. Lovely! Am feeling so hungry now. Wish I could grab one right away! As for the tags, I second Paula. Labels are towards the right hand side of the post editor window. Click on the box image that appears besides the text 'Labels' and an empty text box will open up which you then can fill with all the tags to your hearts content.

  14. OH HOW I NEED ONE OF THOSE (or 2 or 3) RIGHT NOW!!!! how delicious looking!!!! Have you tried the combo of lemon and blueberries? I haven't made them in a while, but scones with lemon flavoring with blueberries added is scrumptious! Hmmmm, with frosting on top with almonds, now that would be fabulous!

  22. Oh my goodness, Martina! These look HEAVENLY and sooo amazing! I pinned this recipe so that I can come back to it... I'm going to look for the almond paste next time I shop. I remember working with it before.
    The way you finished the cupcake with the swirl of frosting and the almond is lovely!
    Have a sweet new week, Martina!
