She has passed now, but on her death bed she called and asked me to bake some and bring them to her. It was so sad, she devoured them.

I'm not a big fan of lemon desserts, but these cupcakes were surprisingly good. The cupcakes were moist and fluffy, and the lemon filling was tart but not too sweet.

These cupcakes were a disaster! The batter was too thick and the cupcakes didn't rise properly. I ended up throwing them out.
