When life gives you lemons...

I made these lemon-meringue cupcakes for my birthday this year. I am a huge love of lemon meringue pie and I always think that a great dessert needs to be tried in cupcake form.

I would love to try other desserts - key-lime pie, perhaps? Maybe Mississippi mud? Or maybe even jam tarts? Now THAT is a challenge I like.

Cherry Cola Cupcakes

I love cherry cola - it's possibly one of the greatest beverages since someone decided to put tonic water with gin. I also love the idea of making new and awesome cupcake flavours. Tada!

The sponge is my normal recipe with a good kick of Kirsberry and enough glacé cherries to make every bite juicy. The icing is a recipe for cola icing I found online. Now. I think I can improve on the icing tenfold (it used cocoa which meant it really just tasted like fudge), so I just need to experiment with some cola flavourings and see what I can make. They were awfully gooey and yummy though. =)
