    Mmmmm! I love cupcakes, too!–but not store bought. Your cupcakes look bakery shop perfect and luscious. I like anything with lemon, so I will definitely be making these one day soon. Thanks so much for sharing the recipe and how-to (your photos are fabulous!).

  3. Oh my heavens I MUST try these. . . I have a weakness for lemon! Thanks for sharing!

    These look fabulous! But I will admit…I have a deep fear of “un-cooked” egg. In my brain I know they’ve come in contact with heat….but I don’t think I can do it. Which is a shame, because these look soooo good!

      Yeah, I’ve always been a little nervous about raw eggs but Dan is coaxing me out of it. I’m going to make these again tomorrow and I’ll heat the eggs to 160 degrees (which would take care of any worries) and see if it works the same. Alternatively you could use meringue powder which is pasteurized…then you’d only have to justify the soaring cholesterol in the cupcakes and curd. 😉

    These look great and wonderful photography too! I’m not a cupcake fan, but I sure love pie. I’ll save the recipe though, because you never know when you’ll need a batch of cupcakes.
