Directions

1 Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil. Spray with cooking spray.
2 Make cake batter as directed on box, using cake mix, water, champagne, oil and eggs. Stir 2 teaspoons grated lemon peel into batter. Pour into pan.
3 Bake 17 to 23 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Do not remove cake from pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour. Place pan of cake in freezer. Freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
4 In small bowl, mix lemon curd and sour cream until well blended. Set aside.
5 To assemble cupcakes, remove cake from freezer; using foil, lift cake from pan. Using 2 1/4-inch round biscuit cutter, cut 24 rounds from cake. Place 12 rounds top side down. Spread each with about 1 teaspoon lemon curd filling. Top with remaining cake rounds, top side up.
6 In medium bowl, mix powdered sugar, melted butter and lemon juice until well blended. Spoon about 1 tablespoon icing over each cake, allowing icing to run down sides of cake.
7 To serve, place each cake in decorative cupcake liner, and garnish with lemon peel curls, if desired.

I LOVE these! so good, and from the looks of the empty container just a short time after i opened it,everyone else loved them as well. i put more filling then it calls for but the top piece wanted to slide off, so, this time im going to make regular cupcakes, "core" them, and pour the filling inside..plug with a piece of the part i cored out, and drizzle the glaze. i made fondant rozes and dropped pearls on the top, so pretty! A+ from me!

What a wonderful surprise these were! I was at my salon when a small wedding party came in with these cupcakes. They graciously shared! Not only are these a show-stopper but they were moist, sweet n tart! The baker also made the red raspberry hibiscus champagne! Great day at the salon! I'll be baking these up for my friend's birthday in Aug....and serving the champage with them! Super!!
