    Looks great! But I have a question. For the dessert, for the cream cheese filling, you mention mixing together the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice, then you say to add the icing sugar… but you only have icing sugar listed in the ingredients? Help!! =]

    • Caroline Barnes says

      Sorry Emily your right… I corrected it. There is just icing sugar in the recipe. Thanks for making me notice.
