Let them eat cake! And they'll come running for the seductive flavor of cake (or cupcakes) made with DCD shaved white chocolate and the tang of Meyer Lemon highlighted by Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. You'll whip it up in no time with the added bonus of yummy Meyer Lemon frosting.

I absolutely LOVE Meyer Lemons!!! The flavors of Spring are here and what could say Spring more than Meyer Lemon? This mouthwatering mix will be welcome at your Easter or Mother's Day Brunch, Bridal Shower, Tea Party, or just because! Nice and refreshing with lovely fresh lemon flavor. (They will think you baked it from scratch!) I have a a Meyer Lemon Tree that I bring indoors over the winter and would zest and juice the lemons to make cupcakes from scratch. With this mix, just add a couple of ingredients and pop into the oven and you are done!
