Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Generously butter a large casserole dish, or 8 6-ounce ramekins. Pour in sugar, and rotate dish so all of the buttered surfaces are coated with sugar; knock out any excess sugar.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla, lemon zest and sugar, until well combined.
• Roughly tear bread into large pieces with your hands. Add bread to custard and stir to combine. Spread berries evenly over the bottom of the casserole, or divide amongst the prepared ramekins. Pour custard mixture into pan or divide amongst ramekins, and push down to submerge the bread. Sprinkle the top evenly with additional sugar, then refrigerate 10-15 minutes to soak.
• Bake in preheated oven 25 minutes, or until puffy, the custard is set, and the top is golden-brown. Set aside.
• In a mixing bowl, stir together confectioner's sugar, water, lemon zest and lemon juice, until smooth.
• When slightly cooled, if using individual ramekins, invert each pudding onto a serving plate; otherwise, simply dish a portion onto each plate. Drizzle pudding with lemon fondant. Serve with additional fresh berries.

• Roll blueberries in flour to coat, this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the scone when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to bruise.

• Preheat oven to 375° F. Prepare eight individual soufflé cups (1-cup capacity) with cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss the bread cubes with the berries to distribute evenly. In another bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk or electric mixer on low speed until frothy. Add the sugar and beat until well blended. Add the half and half, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg and continue beating on low speed until well blended. Fill soufflé cups with bread and berry mixture, mounding it a bit on top. Pour egg mixture over the bread and berries, filling evenly to the rim.
• Place the soufflé cups in large ovenproof baking dish and pour boiling water into the dish until it reaches about halfway up the sides of the soufflé cups. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester or toothpick placed in the center of the puddings comes out clean. Remove from oven and allow to cool. These can be made one day ahead of the shower; simply refrigerate overnight and serve at room temperature. Just before serving, dust each top with powdered sugar.
