    Made as is! Deliciously lemony and loved by both my partner and myself! We pierced cupcake cakes as soon as they came out of oven as suggested in previous posts. When they cool, I'll Insert some lemon curd using a piping tube with a narrow circular nozzle for a nice extra surprise  tmrc_emoticons.;)

    Thank you for posting!

    Gorgeous! I put lots of fork holes over the muffins as soon as they came out of the oven and put the syrup mix over them. Next time I will use ALL the lemon juice left over from the lemon juice from the first part as I didn't feel I had enough of that beautiful liquid. Lovely - thanks for posting!

    It is good to pour the syrup over when they come out of the oven, they soak it up more.

    Does the syrup get poured over once the cakes are cooked?  Should it be poured over just before serving, or straight out of the oven?

    I have a question, I am hoping to make this cake ahead of time. How soon should I put the syrup on?
