Cooking on the Front Burner: Limoncello Cupcakes

What do you do when life gives you lemons (and a bottle of Limoncello), make these heavenly cupcakes! As many of you know, I love lemons - the tarter the better. This cupcake has it all - a buttermilk based cake, a lemon curd filling and a buttercream frosting - all made by scratch - yes, you can do it! It is well worth it.

I first saw this recipe over here, I knew I had to try them and Mr. John of course was a willing taste tester.
(Printable recipe)

After the cupcakes were done and cooled, I used this handy tool to pull out a plug for the lemon curd.

Next came the frosting and I really wanted them to look purdy so I bought a new "Tool" and watched a few YouTube videos... and I think I did pretty well for my first time

Now I want to make even more cupcakes! What should I do next?? Send some ideas my way.

Think I could make that Gluten free? Neither my sister or my aunt are bakers so they are not going to be any help to me learning how to bake gluten free. ugh. need to go to the good food store soon.

Those look SO GOOD! (and I bet the leftover limoncello is really good too!) When Kelly gets back in a couple of weeks, I'm going to ask her to try to make them for us. She's always looking for something new (and not too simple) to make.
