And yes, you need to make these lemon bars and them tell me if you agree about them being more tart than sweet. Wedding or no wedding, I'll be expecting a review.

I'll have to try your recipe.<br /><br />And a microplane is going on my wish list. My daughter bought one a few years ago, but guess what? She's taking all of her kitchen gadgets with her when she moves into her new apartment. For some reason, she thinks she'll be baking for her new husband!<br /><br />Sigh. Kids, I need a microplane for my birthday.

She's trying to break away from the fondant cakes and get better at piping. I think she's doing pretty good.<br /><br />Love, love, love that you spent Mother's Day working in the garden with your daughter.

I think the addition of the lemon zest is what really gives these that extra punch. Though, as you can see, there's still a fair amount of sugar. My teeth are just fine, though. :PMindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-88885160227070327612016-05-10T08:39:38.834-04:002016-05-10T08:39:38.834-04:00LOL!

They always turn out too runny. I will have to give this recipe a try because I adore lemon bars and now I'm craving one...or two or three. Sigh.<br /><br />That cake sure is impressive and sounds divine. I'm such a plain baker. I need to get adventurous but I'm usually only baking when I have company or am going to a potluck and I default to tried and true so I'm sure I'll have something to bring.<br /><br />This Mother's Day was spent at church in the morning and in the garden with slave (aka daughter) labor. There's so many parts of the garden I can't maneuver into now so I needed her agile limbs!Kavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03719229222267994577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-40376994697995383122016-05-10T06:19:04.684-04:002016-05-10T06:19:04.684-04:00Mindy, those look amazing!!!!!

I've only ever tried making them once from a box. <br /><br />I was so happy a few weeks back when I saw a new bakery had them. But oh, my aching teeth. You are so right about the sweetness.
