"Pucker Up"

It's been a few weeks awhile since I've posted and I don't even know what to say.  Looking back at my past few years of blogging, it seems like I always take a baking hiatus in the Spring.  Might have to do with the fact that I'm all 'baked-out' from the Fall/Winter holidays, coupled with beautiful Spring Texas weather where the last thing I want to do is stay inside and bake.  Whatever the reason, I have a few recipes to share today.  :)

A few nights ago I hosted a "Pucker-Up for your Sweetie!" bridal shower with a few ladies from work.  The theme idea came from Pinterest, of course, and turned out precious.  Lemons, limes, oranges, sweet and tangy candies, grapefruit margaritas, lemonade, and more!

My contribution for the shower was the desserts.  I found a recipe for Pink Lemonade Cupcakes that looked cute and sounded tasty.  These cupcakes were so easy (love glorified boxed mix recipes) and the frosting was perfect-tart and sweet!



Next I made "Lemon-Cheesecake Shooters" which were a graham cracker crust, my whipped cheesecake filling, and homemade lemon curd, topped with a raspberry, all served in a cute little votive.  So delicious- I love this combination!

                           

For the recipes, just follow the links above!  Here are a few other pictures of the sweets table :)
