She was an excellent cook and baker, but she never shared her recipes with...

These lemon-filled cupcakes are divine! The zesty lemon filling perfectly complements the moist, fluffy cupcake. I decorated mine with lemon zest and a sprinkle of powdered sugar for an extra touch of elegance. They were a hit at my dinner party!
