🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Lemon Desserts for Spring


​

Hey friends❣️

Sending some lemon love your way today with lemon desserts that have earned my Great Island stamp of approval!

​Creamy Lemon Crumble Bars​

If I could only have one dessert for the rest of my life, this might be it. These bars are tart, tangy, buttery, and not overwhelming. They go from breakfast to snack time to after dinner equally well. Ideal for transporting to any event, too. Pretty perfect.


​Lemon Shortbread​

My proprietary lemon sugar makes this shortbread stand out from all the others. The burst of lemony flavor is always a sweet surprise!


​Lemon Drizzle Cake​

Most of my lemon 'desserts' are equally at home on the breakfast table, and I'd say that's the hallmark of a great dessert recipe: never too sweet or too elaborate to enjoy with a cup of morning coffee.


​Warm Lemon Pudding Cakes​

If you've never made a pudding cake, this is a fun one to try. Top it with your favorite fruit ~ raspberries, currants, blackberries, or thin slices of lemon work well.


​Meyer Lemon Cake​

This cake is just plain special, be sure to bookmark it for when you happen upon Meyer lemons. The flavor and texture are incredible and like nothing you've had before, I guarantee it.


​Raspberry Lemon Blondies​

Raspberry lemon blondies are the brightly flavored bars with a gorgeous pink glaze you'll be making all spring long!


​Lemon Sugar Crumb Cake​

Lemon Sugar Crumb Cake is a mile high New York style coffee cake with a delicate fresh lemon flavor perfect for spring mornings.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

pound cake

Hey friends❣️ If you only master one baking recipe I think the perfect pound cake would be a great choice :) Perfect Pound Cake Pound cake is a pretty straightforward combination of butter, flour, eggs and sugar, but within that framework there's a surprising amount of wiggle room. I tried several different variations before I settled on the best. It's soft, fragrant, and moist. (I hate it when a cake dries out minutes after I slice it.) I doubled down on the vanilla using my homemade vanilla...

biscuits

Hey friends❣️ I had fun sifting through the Great Island archives for the most popular recipes from the months of April ~ from 2011 all the way up through 2025. April faves start off strong with delicious biscuits made with an interesting folding method ~ have you tried that yet? It really does make the most amazing layers! I think they'd be perfect with your Easter ham. Sometime this month the rhubarb's gonna hit your supermarket and you're going to want to have my rhubarb butter recipe...

French apple galette

Hey friends❣️ How about a day trip to France? Rustic French Dessert Recipes If the mere mention of French desserts conjures up the 3 β€œFs” ~ FUSSY, FANCY, and FINICKY, think again. Unlike the intricate pastries in elegant patisseries, my homemade treats focus on taste over perfection. Like my apple galette, above, where caramelized apples and buttery pastry come together in a perfectly imperfect way. These desserts invite you to roll up your sleeves and enjoy the process, imperfections and...
