I know this sounds difficult, but a lemon napolean really would be a simple and elegant dessert to make for mom this weekend. All you need is store bought puff pastry sheets. I'd cut the sheets into whatever size you want while the dough is raw. You should use three layers of puff pastry for each napolean. Bake the puff pastry according to the package instructions. Once the puff pastry is cooled down, spread each of the first two layers with lemon curd and stack the three layers together, with the plain one on top. You can spread vanilla icing on top and use chocolate frosting or chocolate sauce to create the design or just sprinkle them with chocolate jimmies. Here's a recipe for lemon curd, or a high quality store bought curd would be great.
Mom will think you spent all day in the kitchen making these beautiful things, and she'll think you're the best (which you are).
