The problem with summer is that three months is really not a very long time. By the time I have finally settled into my summer job along with the glorious routine of lounging by the beach by day and baking sweet treats by night (when it is finally cool enough to have the oven on), it’s already mid-August and everyone is talking about going back to school and cool breezes start to blow through the thick layers of humidity. It is hard to appreciate things until they end, so my vow for the next few weeks is to make the most of what is left of sunshine and cicadas. To celebrate these final days, what two flavors could possibly wrap up the season better than lemonade and fresh strawberries? Nothing beats this combination of sweet and sour all packed nicely into a light and fluffy cupcake. Pour yourself a tall glass of lemonade, take a bite, and enjoy living simply, even if only for a short period of time.
