These cupcakes are absolutely delicious! I made a few batches for a party in school and they went over very well with my classmates. I plan on making them with oranges as well to see how they turn out!

@Rachel. I always turn the oven off and leave them in the oven with the door ajar a little, so the cooling down process is a little gentler. Try that, it might help Failing that the “you dont have to eat any then” will shut up any complainers

For christmas I made a lemon tart (first time making lemon curd, totally delicious) and have made pavlova so am all over meringues. Never thought to combine them!
Made these and even tho it was a little fiddly, the end result was stunning. I earned some serious brownie points with the ‘in-laws’ with these. Definitely a crowd pleaser.
And my “I dont have a sweet tooth” boyfriend nommed all the remaining cupcakes the next day. Success!

These are so yummy! I’ve made them a bunch of times and they are great. My one problem is the meringues- they keep deflating as they cool. They cook and come out nice and plump and perfect looking but then as they start to cool, they sink and flatten. I’ve tried several various degrees of mixing, from mixing more, all the way to the consistency of whipped butter, and mixing less all the way to barely holding- nothing seems to work to keep them from cooking up and then deflating. My stubborness to get it right kept me trying the meringues many more times than the cupcakes, all to no avail. Any ideas? I’ve looked online for tips/reasons and none seem to fit- its not humid, eggs where at room temp (I tried them cold as well just to see) Before I give up and decide that I don’t have the touch for meringue,I thought I’d ask you id you have any ideas. )
