This week I celebrated my birthday and chose to make my own cake. Why, you ask? Because I knew exactly the kind of cake I wanted and I can be a control freak. I always love lemon desserts but rarely make them because it’s not my husband’s favorite flavor. But since it was MY birthday, I made a lemon poppy seed layer cake with lemon curd filling topped with lemon buttercream frosting. What can I say? This pregnant mama wanted lemon!
