Ask any level of cook about their most successful dish, and they'll likely point to one key ingredient.

SANDY -- Decked out in his white chef's garb, Kameron Hadlock admits he is a bit worried as he drizzles lemon cream cheese icing onto a flaky pastry.
It's not his cooking creation that concerns the Jordan High School senior, who is in his second year of the school's ProStart culinary arts program. It's what could happen to the program amid statewide budget cuts.

I'm not sure why, but last week's balmy weather prompted a taste for something lemony at my house. I searched through cookbooks, magazines and online for tempting recipes and found one for Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes, which I baked last weekend.
The dense, moist cupcake was especially tangy, probably due to my heavy-handed measurement of grated lemon rind. I definitely used more than the 1 teaspoon specified in the recipe. The lemony cream cheese frosting was, well, icing on an already delicious cake.

Heading west along Indiana 64 outside Princeton, you'll see a small colorful sign that dots the corner of County Road 275 West.
The sign offers travelers cakes and cookies if they drive north only three-quarters of a mile. As soon as visitors wrap their lips around strawberry cookies with cream cheese icing, they learn the extra distance is worth it.

Sift together the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda in a bowl. With the mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture to the butter mixture until just combined. Pour into the prepared pan. Smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the center of the oven for 20 to 30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool to room temperature.
(Please feel free to use whipped cream - homemade or store bought - in place of making icing.) For the icing, combine the butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mixing just until smooth.
