This week’s recipe is
I saw these while perusing her website, watched the video and knew I wanted to make them.
A couple of things I came across while making these. - I had to purchase a candy thermometer, lemon zester and citrus juicer as I did not have these on hand.
- Either our cheap Walmart zester sucked or zesting a lemon is a pain in the ass. It took Sir Sunderland a good 15 minutes to zest all 5 lemons needed for the recipe. Maybe next time we will use Sir Sunderland’s method of peeling the lemon then tossing it into our blender.
- The batter is thick. I asked Sir Sunderland to re-read the recipe numerous times to make sure I didn't add too much flour.
- The eggs needed to be room temperature? Weird.
- You make TONS of lemon curd and use about 1/8th of it for topping cupcakes. Anyone want some lemon curd?
- 7 minute frosting is indeed one giant LIE. It takes 7 minutes to mix your ingredients after boiling them for 15 minutes and whipping your egg whites.
On a rating of 1 to 4 cupcakes, I am giving it a 1. I would give it a zero, however the actual cupcake itself was pretty tasty, just not worth effort or money
