Lemon Curd

Ingredients
-
6 Tbspunsalted butter, softened at room temperature
-
1 csugar
-
2 largeeggs
-
2 largeegg yolks
-
2/3 cfresh lemon juice
-
1 tspgrated lemon zest
How to Make Lemon Curd
-
In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer, about 2 min. Slowly add the eggs and yolks. Beat for 1 min. Mix in the lemon juice. The mixture will look curdled, but it will smooth out as it cooks.
-
In a medium, heavy-based saucepan, cook the mixture over low heat until it looks smooth. (The curdled appearance disappears as the butter in the mixture melts.) Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens, about 15 minutes. (Once it was completely melted, mine thickened and reached 170º in just a few minutes, so watch it closely.) It should leave a path on the back of a spoon and will read 170°F on a thermometer. Don’t let the mixture boil.3. Remove the curd from the heat; stir in the lemon zest. Transfer the curd to a bowl. Press plastic wrap on the surface of the lemon curd to keep a skin from forming and chill the curd in the refrigerator. The curd will thicken further as it cools. Covered tightly, it will keep in the refrigerator for a week and in the freezer for 2 months.

LEMON SLICE CAKE TOPPERS
a DIY by Miso BakesSupplies:
Plain Round Cookie Cutters
Teardrop Cutter
Rose Piping Tip
Sugarpaste in white and yellowSTEP 1: Choose a round cutter of your choice. Now choose a cutter directly one size up or down. Using the bigger of the two cutters, cut out a piece of white sugarpaste—this will be the base on which you will build upon.
STEP 2: Again, using the bigger of the two cutters cut out a piece of yellow sugarpaste. Using the smaller cutter cut the center out of the circle. Glue the yellow ring onto the edge of the base piece—this is the peel of the lemon.
STEP 3: Cut out a white circle using the smaller cutter—this is the center of the lemon.
STEP 4: Roll out a piece of yellow sugarpaste. Using a rose piping tip, gently leave imprints all over the sugarpaste—this will be the pulp.
STEP 5: Using a teardrop cutter, cut out a few holes in the white center piece. These are the cavities for the yellow lemon segments. Using the teardrop cutter, cut out segments from the yellow sugarpaste. Insert into the cavities in the white center piece. Let it sit for a few minutes.
STEP 6: Wet the center of the base and insert
