Brighten up your Thanksgiving dinner table by serving these vibrantly colored Lemon Lime Pound Cake Leaves for dessert. The colorful fall leaves are so beautiful and have a lovely lemon-lime flavor that your guests will love.
It’s been a while since I’ve created a tie-dye style cake and I’ve been wanting to make one that would be perfect for Thanksgiving. What do you think of these festive Lemon Lime Pound Cake Leaves?
I love their vibrant red, orange, and yellow color. They look like the leaf-shaped slices of cake fell off the most amazing tree.
Our fall season was so short this year and I really missed seeing all the colorful leaves hanging on the tree. They appeared and were mostly gone within two weeks. Fall is my favorite time of year so seeing bare trees already is so sad.
These leaves make me very happy. I hope they make you happy too.
