- Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup sugar, eggs, and egg yolks in a medium bowl.
- Pour one quarter of simmering lemon-sugar mixture into egg mixture, whisking so that eggs do not cook. Pour contents of bowl back into pan with remaining lemon mixture. Combine cooking, stirring constantly for 2 minutes, until mixture thickns.

To Assemble

- Place honey lemon frosting in a separate plastic zip-top bag and cut a medium-size hole in the end. Pipe frosting into each cupcake.
- To make Baymax’s face, place two Hershey’s Kisses (top side, down) into the top of the cupcake for Baymax’s “eyes”.
