Glazed Lemon Bites

Glazed Lemon Bites taste like little bursts of sunshine! Light and fluffy bite sized cakes garnished with a bright lemon glaze. The perfect dessert for spring!

I do realize it’s not actually spring yet, but I’m hoping that by making spring-y desserts in the kitchen, maybe the weather will follow suit?? It’s worth a shot, anyway.

These cute little lemon bites are so irresistible, they were literally eaten in minutes. The entire batch. No one could keep their hands off of these sweet little things, and I can’t say I blame them!

Every time we go to Costco my lemon loving kiddos always ask to buy the little lemon cakes they sell. Last time, I told them no, but that we could make some of our own at home.

They all love baking with me, so they were happy with my answer 🙂

These are not the exact same thing, (I think their version is like a tiny layer cake with frosting in between the layers), but dare I say, the flavors in this recipe are even better and the cake is so fluffy and moist!

They are not overly sweet – even with the glaze. The lemon flavor really pops, and as my family has proved – it’s impossible to stop after just one!
