i’ve been looking forward to this post for a quite a while.
why, you ask?
well. here’s the thing. i don’t think that you’ve heard of such a great combination of flavors before. cake flavors that is. more on that in a second.
see. i have the best clients. and i thank each one of them for being so special and unique.
a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y. l.o.v.e. i.t. !
patricia contacts me and tells me that she wants a replica of the smallest tier of her wedding cake.
a little background on the lovely patricia: she is a magazine, web and newspaper writer. a tv/radio reporter. a wife. and a mom. oh. and. she just launched her new fabulous website. click here to check it out.
i say, “um uh… what is the occasion?”
she responds, “well. i would like to surprise my husband with the cake on our wedding anniversary.”
my heart pretty much melted. are you kidding me? that’s the best thing i’ve heard all year!
she’s kind of hesitant to tell me what is the cake like.
“okay, patricia. that’s the best present! can we be best friends?!?”
“yeah, our wedding cake was really unique and want to surprise him with it.”
see what i’m saying? she’s not telling me the type of cake yet :)
she tells me that she got married in florida. so i’m now prepared for the cake to be a tropical flavor.
are you ready? because i had no idea !!
“lemon poppy seed cake with coconut cream cheese frosting filled with fresh sliced strawberries and coconut cream cheese” she says.
“haa? say what?”
she bursts in laughter after my reaction – hahaha – it was funny.
“patricia” i say, “that is the most amazing combination of flavors yet!”
i then delivered the cake because she has a baby – that type of baby you see in magazines – yeah, really.
here is her tweet about the cake.
oh. and some pictures, too!

if you read my previous entry here, you know the baking cup has been baking lots of sweets with lemon.
{what’s that? you haven’t read it. yet? thanks to technology you can by just clicking the link above! but. promise me you’ll come back though.}
this time. lemon was mixed with something else. another ingredient popular among bakers in general: poppy seeds.
i don’t know what it is about these seeds that are so awesome !!! tanginess, perhaps? if you do know. please leave me a comment below.
proceeded to adventure. and. baked lemon poppy seed cupcakes & frosted them with cream cheese. this is to continue the tanginess. i guess?
they were a hit and are becoming quite popular. so much. that. i decided to add it as a new flavor!
you can have these with any other frosting of your preference. too.
enjoy!
