Steps:
- Heat oven to 350° F. Place paper baking cup in each of 24 regular-size muffin cups.
- In medium bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil and eggs with whisk until smooth. Divide batter among cups, filling each two-thirds full. Bake and cool as directed on box for 24 cupcakes.
- Use serrated knife to level top of each cooled cupcake to make flat-topped cupcakes. Use wooden skewer (or deep fork) to poke deep holes in cupcakes.
- Use offset spatula (or butter knife) to spread lemon curd over each cupcake. Wait a minute or so to allow lemon curd to seep into each cupcake; repeat.
- Mix sugar, cream of tartar and water in heavy-bottomed 2-quart saucepan fitted with candy thermometer. Stir sugar to dissolve; cook mixture until it becomes syrupy and reaches 240° F.
- Meanwhile, beat egg whites in medium bowl with electric mixer on medium speed. When syrup in saucepan reaches 240°F, immediately pour syrup into bowl of egg whites while beating on medium speed.
- After syrup is all added, increase mixer speed to medium-high; continue beating until icing becomes very thick, at least 10 minutes. The end result will be a thick, shiny meringue that holds its peak.
- Transfer meringue to decorating bag fitted with tip; pipe generous dollop of icing on each cupcake. Use chef's torch to gently toast icing. Enjoy immediately!

LEMON MERINGUE CUPCAKES
Steps:
- Prepare the lemon cake mix according to the package instructions to make 24 cupcakes. Let cool completely.
- Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop out a well from the top center of each cupcake. Trim the bottoms of the scooped pieces of cake to use as plugs.
- Place about 2 teaspoons lemon curd into the well of each cupcake and plug the hole with the reserved trimmed cake pieces.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the egg whites and cream of tartar. Mix the egg whites on medium-high speed until frothy, about 1 minute. Slowly pour in the sugar and continue to beat until the egg whites are glossy and form stiff peaks, about 5 minutes.
- Fit a pastry bag with a medium to large round pastry tip. Fill the pastry bag with the meringue. Pipe the meringue in a circular motion on top of each cupcake. Transfer the cupcakes to a sheet tray. Use a kitchen torch to toast the meringue tops until nicely browned, like a toasted marshmallow.

Steps:
- Make the cupcakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl until combined. Whisk the eggs, granulated sugar, milk, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla in a large bowl until combined. Whisk the flour mixture into the egg mixture.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them to just below the rim. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cupcake comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 15 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
- Make the meringue: Beat the egg whites and salt in a large bowl with a mixer on medium speed until foamy, about 1 minute. Increase the mixer speed to high and gradually beat in 2 tablespoons granulated sugar; beat until stiff shiny peaks form, about 3 minutes.
- Combine the remaining 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, the corn syrup and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook until the mixture registers 245 degrees F on a candy thermometer, about 6 minutes; remove from the heat. With the mixer on medium speed, slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites; increase the speed to high and beat until the meringue is fluffy and cool, about 6 minutes. Beat in the vanilla. Transfer the meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip and pipe onto the cupcakes; set aside at room temperature to firm up, about 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, limoncello and food coloring in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth. Microwave 1 minute, then whisk again until the sugar dissolves; let cool about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Dip the meringue-covered tops of the cupcakes into the glaze, letting the excess drip off. If the glaze gets too thick, microwave 20 seconds.
