Lemon cakes, probably baked in muffin tins, iced with lemon icing, and split and filled with whipped cream, Can be made orange cakes as well.

I’d use a cupcake recipe

This maybe:

or this

Like Sarah said, using a cupcake recipe sounds the plan.
Lots of recipes on the above website.

This one was in a New World flyer a few years ago. Really nice
A fantastic simple 'whip up in a flash' cake with a delicious lemony drizzle topping. Sure to become a favourite recipe as it uses simple ingredients, is delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream and everyone will love the fresh lemony tangy flavour.

Seeing the cream horns made me think. Wonder what they would be like filled with Christmas mince instead of my usual jam and cream?

I agree....
fruit mince tarts (with or without tops), and a tender short pastry, are a far better idea than big flakey pastry horns filled with fruit mince.

I'm not a fan of fruit mince, no way, no how.

rainrain1 - 2019-11-02 08:09:00

retired, I think that sounds lovely. I too love fruit mince. I agree with autumn winds about the pastry, although the flakey pastry would be better if you want to serve them as a cream horn. The short pastry may be a bit firm for that shape?

I only make with flakey pastry and they are tiny. Usually dip the end in chocolate and fill with jam and cream or savoury cream cheese and smoked salmon. Will try a few they may turn out ok, never know if you don't try.
