Cupcakes - OK I use a box mix. The trick is not to cook them too long. I have NEVER cooked a cupcake for more than 16 minutes... You may use a white, yellow or lemon mix.
Filling -
1 jar of lemon curd (10oz)
marscapone cheese (80z)
mix together until smooth, cut the end off a gallon-sized ziplock freezer bag and insert a wilton #230 fillilng tip. Spoon mixture into bag. Squeeze into top of cooled cupcakes. It's OK if the filling bubbles up a bit on the top of the cupcake.
Frosting -
1 stick of butter (room temperature)
1 1lb box of powdered sugar
all of the remaining filling (just squeeze it right into the frosting bowl)
juice of one lemon
Mix together until smooth and creamy. Prepare another bag for the icing using a wilton #1M
Starting on the outer edge of the cupcake pipe the icing around the top while swirling in towards the center. Finish off with a sprinkling of yellow-dyed sugar.
