Always Save Room For Dessert

I have found that childhood memories have been a great inspiration to me lately. I love to bake with my kids and tell them a story of when I was younger. It is a wonderful way for me to keep my mothers memory alive and I hope that as they grow, they will also share their own memories of us in the kitchen.

I had a smile on my face as I made my own little meringues with my daughter, and of course I had to tell the story of my special grocery store treat when I was young.

The meringues topped a lemon filled, lemon cupcake with a dollop of vanilla buttercream. Yum!
