Four Lemon Curd Cupcake Recipe

On the fourth day of Christmas my true love gave to me - FOUR LEMON CURD CUPCAKES.

The cupcake recipe on this blog entree is one of my favourite cakes. I made it for my daughter's wedding cupcakes, they froze well and people raved about them. This cupcake was filled with bought lemon curd but you could easily make your own. This is a lemon lovers dream come true.
