I decided to whip up a batch this weekend!
I started with a basic vanilla cupcake recipe and added a splash of lemon extract. They baked up beautiful and golden!
For the filling I mixed up some buttercream frosting with lemon curd. The mixture was creamy and tart... seriously the perfect combination!
To fill the cupcakes I used a pastry bag and filling tip. This method always works out fine but next time I think I will try out "the cone" method of filling so I can get more of that delicious lemon flavor in my cupcakes!
I didn't want to go too crazy with the flavors this time so I made a basic buttercream to frost these... next time I think I would like a light fluffy raspberry buttercream. It would be a pairing made in heaven!
To finish off these beauties, I sprinkled some granulated sugar on top and garnished with half of a "Lemonade" Girl Scout Cookie.
It is not often that I eat my finished cupcakes... well because if I did I would have some serious issues.... but this time I could not resist! They were simply marvelous! Quickly becoming a fast favorite of mine :)
I hope everyone enjoys their week!
