For the topping
Any cream you like, I'm using dream topping as that is what my family like but you could use whipped cream, buttercream and so on!
You will also need some extra lemon zest and some yellow and white fondant for decorating!
Method
For the cake
Preheat your oven to gas mark 4
Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy
Add in the eggs one at a time mixing well inbetween each addition (add 1tbsp of the flour in with each egg to stop the mix from curdling)
Add in the flour and mix only until combined
Add the milk again mixing only until combined
Place into cupcake liners and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean
Leave to cool completely
Once cool take out the centre of each cupcake using an apple skewer or a knife and fill each one with a teaspoon or two of lemon curd
Finally top with your desired cream, sprinkle on some lemon zest and finish with a yellow flower! Here is some pictures on how i did that!
