I am planning to make these for a co worker’s baby shower on Friday. I was torn between lemon or strawberry cupcakes . . . but why not combine both and call it strawberry lemon cupcakes? Yay! You’re brilliant. :D

WENDY, Hmmmm… I am not sure why it was runny. Yeah I let mine set overnight too. Maybe next time you have to travel you might wanna let it chilled in the frig/freezer for a couple hours before piping. Definitely make it again and see how it goes!

Hi! I made Dorie’s lemon cream tart for Mother’s Day. I often use lemon curd as frosting, so this looks great. But I don’t think my lemon cream would’ve been pipe-able. It was yummilicious, but when I cut the tart, the cream oozed a bit (not runny, but definitely not staying in its place). I made the cream the day prior, so it had plenty of refrigerator time. Any ideas where I went wrong (if I went wrong)? The only possible thing I could think of is that I did have to drive the cream for 45 minutes (in an A/C car), where I assembled the tart at the destination. Ah, guess that means I’ll just have to make it again.

TAMMY, Its not a dense cupcakes; its moist from the fresh strawberry juices. If you like strawberry chunks, its a great fruity flavor. I think it would be fabulous with cream cheese frosting and lemon curd filling. I am just not sure how easy it would be to fill with the lemon curd with the strawberry chunks. Definitely try it and let me know what you think! :)

Hi, I was wondering how is the texture of this cupcake? Does it have a strawberry flavor? Is it dense? Is it sweet? I want to make a strawberry cupcake but use a vanilla cream cheese frosting, what are your thoughts on that? will it be good together? Could I fill this cupcake with lemon curd (I have some in the freezer)?

I noticed how you said this is probably the best cupcake you’ve made…i am dying to try it

MARA, I definitely think it had a good all natural berry flavor esp if you like strawberry chunks. If you are looking for a strawberry flavor w/o the strawberry chunks you could probably omit the strawberries and replace the vanilla extract with strawberry extract. I haven't try that variation though but thats my guess. Thanks for the compliments! :)
