Sue's Diner: Lemon Drop Cakes

Here's a light, refreshing dessert that's perfect for any day of the year.

This week's recipe for lemon drop cakes is referenced in the BryonySeries novel Bryony, where these lemon drop cakes appeared on the buffet table at the Harrington ball.

John placed a glass of punch into Melissa’s hand and piled her plate with slices of cold beef, several tiny biscuits, miniature lemon and coconut cakes, and a mound of plum preserves.

We adapted our recipe from Miss Beecher’s domestic receiptbook: designed as a supplement to her Treatise on domestic economy, which is a real nineteenth century cookbook, for use in the modern kitchen.

This recipe also appears in the BryonySeries cookbook Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," which is a permanent fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties.

You can try the recipe for lemon drop cakes on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website. 

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone some time next week. A new recipe will take it's place.

If you have any troubleshooting questions or comments, email us at bryonyseries@gmail.com. 

Finally, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

It was at the Harrington’s ball that Melissa met Ed Calkins, Steward of Tara, for the very first time. 

Below is a recipe for one of the foods Melissa choked down while the Steward explained his ruthless dictatorship.
