Ingredients for Cupcakes

• 2 cups fine almond flour (I used Bob’s Red Mill)

• 1/3 cup coconut flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/8 teaspoon salt

• 1/2 tablespoon vinegar

• 1/2 cup milk

• 4 large eggs, room temperature

• 2/3 cup Truvia or granulated monk fruit sweetener

• 2/3 cup walnut oil

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 3 tablespoons lemon juice

• 1/2 tablespoon lemon zest
  
  

Ingredients for Frosting

• 1/3 cup butter

• 8 ounces cream cheese , softened

• 2 cups Lakanto monk fruit sweetener

• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

• 2 teaspoons  milk

• 1/2 teaspoon of that lemon juice

• 1 teaspoon of lemon zest

Instructions for Cupcakes

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2. Add the milk to the vinegar, so it can curdle for 5 minutes while we mix the other ingredients together.

3. Combine the dry ingredients.

4. Combine the wet ingredients, adding the curdled milk last.

5. Slowly mix those wet and dry ingredients together.

6. Evenly divide the batter in the silicone baking cups. Bake for 18-23 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

7. Allow cupcakes to cool for at least 30 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool completely to room temp before frosting.

Instructions for Frosting

1. Using a hand mixer, add the softened butter and beat for 2 minutes until that butter is light and fluffy.

2. Add the cream cheese and continue beating for an additional 3 minutes until the butter and cream cheese are combined.

3. Slowly add the powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest and milk and beat for 2-3 minutes until creamy and smooth. 

4. Cover and chill in the fridge until ready to frost.

5. Store cupcakes covered in the fridge for up to a week.

Now, you have those lemon cupcakes, let’s get going on some lemon crafts to get the place settings looking just right!

lemon place setting ideas

The first idea is to simply cut a small slit in the lemon and add a place card in the slit.

Or decorate a toothpick and stick that in the lemon. You could also write the guests names right on the lemon with a Sharpie.

Or use a little twine and a hole punch to attach that nametag to the lemon. 

Another way to decorate the table would be to add a cute sign. I have this little frame and just printed out a cute lemon sign to put in there. If you had several frames you could do a separate one for each place setting.

All of these designs will be in a downloadable printable below.

Filling a glass jar with lemon slices and then tying a little twine around the top is so simple, elegant and low cost. You could add some yellow flowers or just leave it like this.
