Lemon Curd Cupcakes

These are my very first creation. I had just tried making lemon curd and wanted to create a cupcake that would be inspired by that taste. I ended up using the curd to fill the cupcakes and to make the frosting. The result is both cute and tasty.
Lemon curd (see my article about making your own or use store-bought curd)
Batter for 6 cupcakes:
60g flour, sifted
14g cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
60g butter, room temperature, beaten until smooth
60g vanilla-flavored sugar or white sugar and one drop of vanilla extract
1 egg
50 ml buttermilk
Glaze:
cream cheese
lemon curd
confectioners' sugar
buttermilk
For the batter, mix the dry ingredients.
Whisk the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg, then the buttermilk and finally the dry ingredients.
Do not overmix. Cook 15 to 20 mn at 350°F (180°C).
Remove the top of the cooled cupcakes with a melon shaping spoon. Fill with lemon curd. Place the top back on and glaze.
To make the glaze, whisk the ingredients until smooth and shiny and place in the fridge. Top the cupcakes with a piping bag.
