Pull-apart cupcake cakes are such a game changer for birthdays. 🧁 You get the look of a gorgeous custom cake, but when it’s time to serve, there’s zero hassle and no messy cutting—everyone just grabs one and goes!

For Spencer’s birthday, I went with a mix of deep navy, royal, and baby blues, finished with textured whites and just a tiny bit of sparkle.

Happy 17th, Spencer! Hope it was the best day!

Flavor of the week: Snickerdoodle 😋

In addition to our usual lemon rotation, we always like to give our guests a few other flavor choices. While our fudge brownies are always a fan favorite in that lineup, the Snickerdoodles absolutely stole the show this weekend! Since they aren’t a permanent staple, they are a total “blink and you’ll miss it” treat—so when you see them on the menu, you’ll definitely want to snag a box before they vanish.

Catch them this week at our pop-ups until they sell out! Here is where we’ll be:

🍻Tuesday 7/14 (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM): McGregor’s Bar and Grill

⛪️ Friday 7/17 (5:00 PM - 8:00 PM): New Hope Community Church in Chula Vista

☕️Saturday 7/18 (9:00 AM - 1:00 PM): Brew Coffee Spot in La Mesa

Thank you all so much for clearing us out this weekend! See you soon! 🥹🫶

⛳️ Swing into summer!

🏌️‍♂️Living right on a golf course, I get a front-row seat to the ultimate summertime sport! From the crack of dawn to late at night, I always hear groups out on the green having the absolute blast. I’m not a golfer myself, but I love watching them play from my patio—and it inspired these cakes!

From smooth ombre finishes and realistic sand traps to custom golfer silhouettes and mini golf carts, I can build the perfect fairway for the golf lover in your life. Perfect for birthdays, retirements, or celebrating a great season!

No ribbon, but still a winner! 🏆

The judges at San Diego County Fair had some incredibly tough choices to make. While my desserts didn’t bring home a prize this time, I am so incredibly proud of how they turned out. My taste-testers at home still think they are number one!

Huge congratulations to all the bakers who placed. This just means I have a whole year to perfect the recipe, test out new flavors, and come back even stronger for next year’s competition.

Thank you all so much for the love and encouragement on my last post! Now, I’m off to celebrate with some fair food. 🎡🍿

When life gives you lemons... you build a whole pastry shop around them! 🍋

I noticed a lot of new faces around here lately, so I wanted to step out from behind the mixing bowl and introduce myself. Around town, most people just know me as The Lemon Lady! 👋 I’m Lisa, the owner and baker at Lemon Drop Pastry Shop. If you can’t tell from this collage, I have a major obsession with everything citrus, bright colors, and making life just a little bit sweeter. 💛

But don’t worry—if lemon isn’t your thing, my kitchen handles it all! From rich, decadent chocolate and classic vanilla to custom seasonal combinations, I bake up a full menu of delicious flavors tailored exactly to your cravings. 🍫🧁

Whether I’m crafting intricate celebration cakes, whipping up zest-filled cupcakes, or baking custom logo treats, I pour my whole heart into every single layer.

I’d love to get to know you, too! 🫶

1️⃣ What is your absolute cake or cookie flavor? 🧁

2️⃣ Have you tried one of my treats yet? 🍋

I’m looking forward to Baking You Happy 💛
