Chocolate Cake or Lemon Cupcakes? {I couldn't decide...}

....so I just made...

...BOTH!

I made these desserts for a Birthday we celebrated on Friday. 

For the Lemon Cupcakes I covered the top of the warm cupcakes with a lemon glaze. Once the glaze soaked in and the cupcakes had cooled I filled the middle with homemade lemon curd and frosted them with cream cheese frosting sprinkled with lemon zest. 

The Chocolate Cake is a two layer buttermilk, espresso cake with mascarpone frosting.

Have a HAPPY Day!
