    We recently had a party and my friend’s favorite flavor is Lemon Curd. I usually make her Lemon Bars.  This time I wanted something a little different. The cupcakes are filled with lemon curd with a delicious lemon cake and Vanilla Frosting with some pretty yellow sparkle sugar. For more lemony goodness visit this page.

    How to Display Sunny Lemon Curd Cupcakes

    I make the lemon curd in advance. I make enough that I can freeze it for later use. You can also use these cute cupcake flags.

    You can get some yellow polka dot balloons, and some fun confetti for the table and then print off the cupcake flags and decorate them, which will create a fun mood and party atmosphere.

    Serve them with some lemonade served in pretty mason jars and cute straws.  You can also display them on a pretty cake pedestal and place on a sideboard or buffet table with some paper doilies. This will make a beautiful dessert bar.

      Genius! Adding the lemon curd into the batter makes these cupcakes so lemon-y without the messy filling in the middle. My new favorite lemon recipe!
