My Daughter loves lemon, and cupcakes, so I thought I would create her this dessert. It is so good. The lemon flavor is so good and the cream cheese in the filling makes it so smooth. This just reminds me of a cool spring morning. If your planning a party, this makes a lot of little kisses, your guest will surely enjoy!

    This looks to be a great hit at the next reunion. I love to try things out there. I know it is a keeper when they ask who brought what? What a wonderful way to enjoy a tiny cheesecake. Thanks for the idea.
