My in-laws love these so much I have to bring them to every family function. Do not worry that the recipe makes "too many" they freeze really well. Just drop what you don't need in a Ziploc and put in the freezer. Microwave one or two for about 12 seconds and they are perfect for a cup of coffee or tea.

I have made these little cakes many times and served them when I did a little catering. They are a big hit and I have had many requests to make them again and again. They freeze very well.

These were very lemony - which is awesome. The recipe calls for WAY too much glaze. My only small complaint is that it took a long time to make all of these because the recipe makes so many servings and it takes a some time to glaze the cakes. But, overall it was a hit with my co-workers!

These little cakes are light as air and a delicious little mouthful. I ended up with 84 and had just enough glaze cutting the glaze recipe in half. It took along time but I'm using them for a Tea Party and will have some for staff parties also. They're in the freezer and hope they're just as good after. Judy, Cornwall, ON Canada

OK, what am I missing, the link takes you to a recipe which is nothing like what is being described in this ongoing conversation--no cream cheese, no glaze, etc.?

These tea cakes are great! They taste exactly like my lemon pound cake except with a glaze. Delicious!

I made these for the HS bake sale. My son loves them and has asked for more again and again. Glaze is leftover, will decrease next time. Also, use regular, not low fat cream cheese if not using a brand name. Lastly, there are even better the next day.

Baked a full batch in a bundt pan, 325 degrees for almost and hour. (cooked until inserted knife came out clean) Cooled almost completely before turning out of pan. Ran knife around middle between cake and pan. Leveled off bottom and spread glaze over entire bottom. Flipped over and drizzled glaze over top. (Used more lemon juice in glaze than recipe called for) Turned out great and much less time consuming!
