Wow... its been a while since I posted. With
my sister's wedding and all, I hardly had any
time for anything!
This weeks selection was Lemon Cup Custard
and it was chosen by
Bridget from The Way the Cookie Crumbles
I have to say I was a bit skeptical about making
this one, since a lot of people reported it had an
eggy flavor to it and not enough lemon.
Since I don't really care for lemon flavor I chose
to make a vanilla-cinnamon flavored custard
instead. I used a lime to decorate it.. but
that was it. I really enjoyed the flan texture and
realized that it would have been much better had
I added some sugar caramel at the bottom before
baking the custard. It was a little blah.. but it wasn't
so bad.
The recipe was very easy to make.. and I was thankful
I didn't have to go out and buy weird or hard to find
ingredients. Great pick Bridget!!

Your custards look gorgeous. The flavor combo of vanilla cinnamon sounds yummy.
hmm.. vanilla and cinnamon, that does sound good!
Yours looks yummy. You're right, adding a carmelized sugar would have been great.Good work!
Just love the way the flan came out - it's just the right color and texture. Good job!
Your flavor version sounds delicious, and I like the lime garnish you used.
the vanilla cinnamon combo sounds good. i'm glad it worked out because i do think this would be good with different flavors, just not with the lemon so much.
Vanilla and cinnamon sounds fantastic! Did you steep a cinnamon stick or use ground cinnamon? I really wanted to try the cinnamon option but I didn't have any cinnamon sticks and I was scared to use ground cinnamon. I love the lime slice on top too!
Love your flavor combo and your photo styling -- it is beautiful! It was nice to make a recipe that only contained a handful of ingredients for a change! You did a great job!
I think vanilla would definitely be the way to go for this. I mean, it wasn't bad, just ok.
your custard turned out beautifully! Vanilla cinnamon sounds great- even though I'm not a custard fan, I had to agree with you about how easy this recipe is!
Your custard looks perfect! I love that you did cinnamon vanilla, can't go wrong with that combo, and the lime on top tops it off just right :) Sorry you weren't a big fan of this week's recipe, I think a lot of the bakers had the same reaction.
I love your choice of flavors...great job!
Your custard looks very pretty. I love how the background matches your blog colors!
I really liked the lemon, but will have to give the cinnamon-vanilla a try.
It's nice to have a simple recipe every now and then. Sometimes I look at a recipe and think, "ugh, I'm just not up to it"!
But anyway, your custard sure looks pretty and lemony.
So beautiful! I think the cinnamon and vanilla is the perfect combo (and one of the best, IMHO!)
Vanilla and cinnamon - always a good combination. Yours look great.
Your custard looks really good! I didn't go for lemon either, i made mine with vanilla and almond extracts.
