Lemon Meringue Cupcake.....base is sponge cake, middle section is lemon filling and the top is meringue scented with lemon bits!!

Okie.....

Will have to do a backtrack post after I recieved my photos for the deserts that we have at Canele.

But first.. .. ..let update about the cupcakes that I had made.. ...

Made Lemon Meringue Cupcake...so how did the idea came about??? We have to start from Canele first..

Went Canele and saw Meringue kisses.. ..came in three favours... ..Lavender, rose and well orginal i think....

Thought about the Lemon Meringue pie that I used to make in Secondary school and decide to attempt it again.. ...but well was too lazy to make a whole pie tart.. ..and beside I am still in my phrase for cupcakes...and decide to change to lemon meringue cupcakes which require some modifications.. ..

Okie first all..the base has to be changed!....can't possible use pie shell as base..so changed to sponge cake as sponge cake is light and airy..so more suitable for the tart, light taste of lemon. That decide and taken care of...have to think about the filling and the meringue.. ..decide to cut down on the amount of sugar so that it is more suitable for Asian taste......and also to bring out the tart lemony taste...and not let sugar overwhelmed it.. ..so TATA!! that how the lemon meringue cupcake is born! hee hee.. ..going to give one to the birthday gal at work and hope she likes it...had also request for my sister to make a cat earnings for her as she is crazy over cats!...well will see her reaction tomorrow...and will try to get my hands on the deserts photos so that we can salivate over it! ha ha
