Mother’s Day Road Trip with Mazda: The Glazed Lemon Cake Edition

Posted by | Housewares, Recipes, Travel | 10 Comments

When life is stressful, I literally will make lemonade out of lemons. Or in this case, Glazed Lemon Cake in Mini Bundt Pans. The vibrant scent, tartness of the lemons and sweet glaze makes for a perfect dessert.

It’s also one of my Mom’s favorite treats. Since we were celebrating Mother’s Day, it was the best excuse to pull out the mini bundt pan to make them for her.

Knowing how many ways I use lemons in dishes, I often think of my aunt and uncle’s place on the west coast where having a lemon tree outside your kitchen window is common.… Read more

Mother’s Day. May 10, 2015. The most special day of the year where we honor our Mothers and thank them for all they have done for us.

But what do you do for your Mom when you are not 5 that is memorable (and that will last as long as that noodle picture)?

Since Inspiring Kitchen is all about sharing new trends and unique ideas, I am excited to introduce a new favorite find that celebrates Mother’s Day with flowers that will always stay beautiful and filled with color.… Read more
