Lemon Raspberry Bundtinis

Have I mentioned lately, how much I love my job?  It's sticky and messy, stressful and downright frustrating at times but I have no doubt that I'm doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. 👩🏻‍🍳

Is there really any question about whether this girl would grow up and start a baking business?  Just look at the smile.😁  Has there ever been someone more proud of a batch of cookies? 🤣  Oh, and let's not ignore my incredible style with that amazing plaid collar on my shirt (or dress?).  🤪 

Clearly, I've always been a baker at heart.🧁  These pictures are evidence that I've loved to bake since I was a little girl with bangs and a bowl cut.  And the thing is -- nearly 50 years later, I still love it.  I'm pretty sure that I still make that crazy excited face when I bake new things too.  

Lemon Raspberry Bundtinis are my newest baking creation.🍋 It's always a fun day when I get to experiment with new cake flavors.  My goal was to create a summery bundtini. Something fruity and citrusy but also light and sweet.  Hello, lemon raspberry bundtini.
