Sweet Fusion
Arn’t lemons dreamy, especially lemon curd. In fact any form of lemon inspired baking is a winner in my books, even a bonus if paired with fluffy toasted meringue! With this sound formula, I’ve always wanted to make a zesty cupcake, oozing with lemon curd and topped with charred meringue.

The king of rock’n’roll not only permanently changed the American pop culture back in the 50’s, but he hip swiveled his way to make blue suede shoes cool and introduced his favourite sandwich combo – Banana, Peanut Butter and Bacon!…
