But... once you get the taste for lemon meringue in your mouth there is no turning back.
I had an idea.
Using my favorite Diet Soda Cake idea, I created lemon-ginger cupcakes~ using diet gingerale and lemon cake mix.
Lemon Meringue Cupcakes
24 lemoney cupcakes
1 jar lemon curd
Paula Deen's 7 Minute Frosting 
When it was time for dessert~ I topped each of the cupcakes with a dollop of lemon curd. Then a larger dollop of the 7 minute frosting that I had made earlier in the day (which answers the question... is this meringue stable enough to last in the fridge?). 
I torched each cupcake until the meringue was lightly toasted.
They were fabulous!
and fancy :-{)
Thanks bunches to my new bloggy friend Susi. She even responded to my email's while I was in the kitchen... It was almost like having a bloggy friend at the kitchen counter while I was cooking. 
Y'all enjoy~

Yum, these make my mouth water! Lemon curd on an english muffin is one of my favorite bkfst's so I know these would be a wonderful dessert. Thanks for sharing!
I am full.....just ate lunch...and my mouth is positively drooling. I love the taste of lemon curd. I love the taste of anything lemony. thanks for sharing. I am probably going to buy some lemon curd today when I get off from work.

Sandi - I think they look great :o) I'm glad you tried them out. I also like your simplified version. As much as I like mine they were certainly quite involved so anything that makes the life easier is good in my book :o)

Those look fantastic! Do you think that the finished cupcakes would hold up alright in the refrigerator for a day? I need to make a batch of tasty cupcakes, but my schedule means that I have to make them around 24 hours early. What do you think?
