I used to love decorating cakes as a hobby, but I stopped after having kids because life just got so busy. Now that they’re a little older, I finally carved out the time and courage to bake and decorate again.

This is a simple lemon cake with cream cheese frosting. I was too nervous to break out the piping bags after such a long hiatus, so I kept it minimal. But I’m proud of how it turned out. Most importantly, it tasted amazing.
