14. Lemon Curd & Poppy Seed Bunny Buns

Concept & Aesthetics:

Sunny, tangy, and speckled with poppy seeds for texture and flavor.

How to Make It:

  • Fold 3 tablespoons of blue poppy seeds into the dough during the final kneading step.
  • Spread lemon-infused cinnamon butter on the dough, roll, and cut into bunny shapes.
  • After baking, pipe homemade tart lemon curd directly into the center spirals of the bunny face and ears.
  • Drizzle with an opaque lemon-sugar glaze.

Tips & Variations:

  • Garnish with candied lemon peels cut into small bow shapes.
  • Swirl raspberry jam together with the lemon curd for a two-tone center.
