Today we have two picnics and an appointment wedged in between. I needed to make some dessert and a salad; also, I need to bring a main course for one of the picnics. Whew. Anyway, I made a homemade Texas Sheet Cake and with that taking up all my make from scratch energy I found a lemon cake mix and lemon frosting in the back of my pantry. I made those for a dessert to go to the first picnic. Since lemon cupcakes and frosting are kind of boring when you don't make them from scratch, I decided to kick it up a notch and make a garnish for them with crystallized sugar and lemon zest.
Lemon Sugar Garnish
Zest one lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons of large crystallized sugar
Mix it together and sprinkle it on top of cupcakes. You can also use this to rim the glass of your favorite mixed drink or sweeten tea with it when you have a sore throat.
Enjoy! The sun is shining and we are rejoicing here in the Pacific Northwest.
