National Cupcake Week – celebrating with Lemon Meringue Cakes



It is National Cupcake week, and we are already two days in! But I have been busy baking away and have an exciting new recipe to bring you in celebration of National Cupcake Week – Lemon Meringue Cakes!

I designed the recipe using my traditional fairy cake recipe for the bun, the lemon curd and meringue recipes from my lemon meringue pies, and I used the technique of hollowing the cake from my Gooseberry andElderflower cakes.
Sounds complicated? Don’t worry it’s not! Here is the recipe:



Do you have any exciting cupcake flavours?

  1. They look delightful and I bet were delicious. I still haven't made lemon curd, but I made some delicious lime curd and then apricot curd earlier this year.

  2. I still can't believe how easy it is to whip up a batch of curd. What I need to do now is learn how to make other jams/preserves and start putting them in jars :)
