Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.

  3. In a bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, lemon-flavored gelatin mix, egg whites, and canola oil. Use an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, then increase the speed to medium and beat the batter for 2 minutes.

  4. Fill the muffin cups about halfway with the batter.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean.

  6. Allow the cupcakes to cool completely, for at least 30 minutes.

  7. In a separate bowl, beat the milk and cheesecake-flavored pudding mix together using an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and thickened (approximately 2 minutes).

  8. Transfer the pudding to a pastry bag fitted with an icing tip.

  9. Use the icing tip to create an opening in each cupcake, and gently squeeze the pudding into the cupcake until it begins to swell.

  10. In another bowl, beat the confectioners' sugar, butter, and lemonade concentrate together with an electric mixer until the frosting is smooth and thickened.

  11. Spread the frosting onto the cupcakes.

  12. Optionally, use a pastry bag and tip to create icing rosettes, or simply frost the cupcakes with a knife.
