“Lemony lemony lemon cakes…and you can have as many as you like.”
So perhaps because this whole post was inspired by my friend’s disdain for the way food is described in my beloved Game of Thrones books, I felt like including a bonus dish from that very series, because, while reading A Song of Ice and Fire might not make anyone hungry for pigeon pie or roasted auroch or anything, there is one food from that fantasy world that I would like to try: lemon cakes. You can definitely attempt to make your own (HBO even provides a recipe here), but I would recommend ordering one from Ladybird Bakery. The Lemon Cloud cake features layers of lemon cake with homemade lemon curd and a lemon buttercream frosting. That’s a lot of lemon.
Ladybird Bakery; 1112 8th Avenue, Park Slope
