The Story:
Once upon a time I made 50 lemon cupcakes. I ran out of chocolate buttercream and cream cheese frosting…so I needed to top the rest with something else. Plus, I needed an excuse to use a blowtorch.

Perfection!
You have the best recipes! Perfect for spring!
These sound delicious, I must try these! Thank you!
What a great excuse to use a blowtorch! Looks amazing!
wow those look soooooo good….that would be fun to use a blow torch! haha 😀
These sound great! And a great excuse to get the blow torch out!
My worry is, since meringues take so long to cook, aren’t you left with raw egg whites inside?
This is how Martha and plenty of other people do it, if you just leave thinner layers, it cooks pretty fast 🙂
