Just one glimpse of sunshine and we are all going CRAZY for summer. So let’s start off our summer bakes with this absolute gem of a cupcake: Lemon and Poppyseed! A light and zesty lemon sponge filled with the BEST lemon curd to give that full on punch-in-the-face lemon kick, rounded off with a smooth tangy cream cheese frosting and a sprinkling of poppy seeds to cut through the sweetness and add a little nuttiness to this delicious cupcake.
We are now OPEN in Soho so we hope to see you there very soon, come and visit us at Crumbs and Doilies, 1 Kingly Court, W1B 5PW

Hi C&D crew! Can I use chia seeds as a substitute for the poppy seeds? I can’t seem to find poppy seeds in any store 😬
Can I use this same recipe to make a cake? Would you recommend a low and slow bake, 180C for 50 mins? Thank you!
Yes, could you make a Oreo or biscoff cheescake?
Delish 😋😋 I really would love to come to Soho someday.
thank you for doing new video for this!! this is one of my favorites.
Love lemon and poppyseed together!
Where did you get your shirt??? I love it! 😍
Well done Gemma I love your channel 👏❤👍 😃
Sally, that lemon curd is delicious with vanilla ice cream!
Hey how long can we keep cream cheese in the fridge?,as in i use a big tub and the remaining cant be used just the next week,so id there a date till i can use the rest or does it go bad?although the cream cheese tub is airtight
No vegan recipe, it’s disappointing.
Hey! Im from Chile and i wanna know, whats the difference between caster sugar and icing sugar? I think we don't have caster sugar in my country, or i haven't heard about it
i did it just now and it comes out really fluffy and moist.I skip the poppy seed but it still taste delicious. thank for the recipe👍
Made them today 😍😍 they are gorgeous 💓💓💓 I made some small changes, used heavy cream instead of butter and added some lemon juice to the cream🙈🙈🙈 superb as usual 💃💃💃
this is perfect for my leftover lemon curd! 🙂 love your videos 🙂 thanks!! 🙂 but I nearly got a heart attack when I saw the amount of icing sugar! 😉
Sally can I do this one as a cake? Do I need to change the recipe?
This IS a big lemon!
Lemon & poppy seed is great combination doesn't sound unusual at all. I knew someone that made lemon poppy seed muffins.
i love sally! I always watch your videos with my 2 year old because you talk so clearly, and you are very entertaining and ofcourse all that you make is soo mouth watering!dont stop making videos!
Guys …. help me i wanna bake something right now… what should i bake these lemon poppy cupcakes or sally's carrot cake recipe? What is more delicious? This or that?
Hi Sally, since starting to watch your channel, I have begun baking. So far, I’ve managed to make cupcakes, cookies, crusty cobs, brioche buns and scones. Thanks for being a great inspiration! Have you ever thought about doing any videos for diabetic friendly baking? That would be awesome!!
Think it'll work if anything lemon is replaced by orange?
I'm a newby to your channel and oh my god I'm loving it , I've learn't lots of new tips on here .. I'm not sure if I've already missed a video about using an oil instead of butter in a cup cake recipe , my partner doesn't eat butter and I always feel guilty making cup cakes and he can't eat them . TIA Kellie ..xx
Best reaction ever at the end when she tried it. I like that she gets into it up close and eats what she makes, not like other people.
Love her
Hi Jemma, I’m having issues with my cupcake wrappers pulling away from my cupcakes after baking? Please HELP. Do you know how to solve this problem?
One of my favourite cupcake! <3
Thanks for the recipe Sally, they were delicious! The amount of lemon in the cake was just perfect!
Wonderful! I found THE RECIPE! After eating one of those super delicious muffins in a coffee shop, I wished to find the perfect recipe and now I am sure I did! I will come back after baking it! 😍🌺🙋🏻♀️
I was at Crimson doilies last week. I had the lemon and poppy cupcake, but this one was gluten-free. It was so delicious!
"it just makes cleaning up that much more fun."
Maybe if I was a cupcake maker for work, I would be that cheerful as well.
Both Jemma and this girl are great personalities.
that was different. and summary
Can you tell me if I need to soak poppy seeds before baking? Thanks
Could you use this recipe to make a cake? Or does it only work as a cupcake?
🧁 🍋😚 Cooking for Hubby 😋
Can you use a lemon curd made with egg yolks to fill a cake that might be out at room temperature for 4 or more hours?
