Betty's Cream Puff Swans

I’ve been meaning to do this recipe for quite some time, but a friend’s birthday lunch finally inspired me.
While these swans look quite elegant and complicated, they really are quite simple to do.
A little practice with a pastry bag is all that is required!

For the swans:

6 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup water
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup flour
3 eggs

For the filling:
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup lemon curd

2.  Stir lemon curd to loosen and stir in about a half cup of the whipped cream.
