Our lemon cake is party-ready! If you’ve been fol Our lemon cake is party-ready! If you’ve been following us for a while, you know cake decorating isn’t really our thing (we have a more “rustic” feel), but we wanted to make something special for a party recently. We started with our lemon cake recipe that we already trusted and just doubled it into a two-layer cake. We even added some of our lemon curd in the middle. And we think it turned out great! So delicious and pretty damn cute. Someone even told us it was the best lemon cake they’d ever had, which is a huge compliment to us. It reminded us that trying something new in the kitchen doesn’t mean you suddenly need to become an expert overnight. Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone or trying something you’re not totally confident in can be really good. Would you make your own cake for an event or buy one?
