Lemon Dream with Lemon curd filling

While we were in AZ, I tried a new cupcake. I had to. . . I found lemon curd at Trader Joes, and it just BEGGED me to created a cupcake for it. I decided on white cake with lemon zest, lemon curd filling, and citrus cream cheese frosting. And the tartness was the perfect balance to the sweet frosting. . .

I have decided to call it "Lemon Dream" because, frankly, it was dreamy. I hate that things like lemon curd have to be refrigerated! I want to make filled cupcakes more often!

Bad cell phone photo of the finished product

Please don't judge the decorating job. I was far from home without my tools, so I had to improvise and pipe the frosting with a ziploc bag. . . but what they lacked in beauty, they made up for in taste.

Come out and check it out. It's so much fun. You'll get sucked in and want to spend lots and lots of money. I can promise you that.

It's right inside the front door, you can't miss it!
