This poor forgotten pleasure - lemon poppyseed. I so wish these could have been included in the taste testing extravaganza that we had, but it just wasn't so. Unfortunately, they did not turn out. "So why are you posting this?" you ask? Well, because. It's a good thing. When something doesn't turn out, you learn from it. We all make mistakes. I still thought they were pretty, so I wanted to post it up here in all my shame for all to see :) They are pretty, don't get me wrong, the glaze was what turned out wrong. Not me, mind you.
The cupcake itself? Delicious and tasty and perfect! The glaze was too tart, definitely needs to be perfected. The arrowroot I used to thicken it caused the glaze to be shiny enough you could see your reflection in it immaculately. Kind of, you know, not good when it's a cupcake glaze. Oh well, better luck next time!
It's a cryin' shame that lemon poppyseed MUFFINS now must be lemon poppyseed CUPCAKES. People and they're frosting/glaze addiction, I swear ;)
The cake? Well, this pretty little thing was only about 5 to 6 inches. I was in love as I switched the light on in the oven and watched it rise...slowly, but surely. It was bouncy and firm when done. Complete bliss. But the darn glaze had to go and ruin it all. I'll keep you posted on the perfections and (hopefully not) imperfections that might prevail in the future with this classic beauty.
