Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
- Beat lemon cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs in a large bowl for 2 minutes.
- Spoon batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
- Bake cupcakes in the preheated oven until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the middle of a cupcake comes out clean, 18 to 22 minutes. Cool cupcakes thoroughly.
- Cut vegetable shortening and 1/4 cup butter together in a bowl with a pastry cutter until well mixed. Beat lemon juice into shortening mixture until creamy.
- Stir 2 cups confectioners' sugar into shortening mixture, about 1/2 cup at a time, until the filling is smooth. Set filling aside.
- Place white chocolate into a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave on High for 15 seconds and stir chocolate. Continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring between heating until white chocolate is melted and smooth.
- For frosting, beat cream cheese and 1/2 cup butter together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. Stir in melted white chocolate and vanilla extract.
- Gradually beat in 4 cups confectioners' sugar, alternating with drizzles of orange juice, to make a smooth and creamy frosting.
- Cut holes through the top of each cupcake. Holes should be deep enough to put filling inside.
- Spoon lemon filling into the holes.
- Pipe the cream cheese frosting on top of cupcakes; sprinkle with lemon zest.

- In 1 1/2-quart saucepan, mix sugar, cornstarch and salt. Gradually stir in water. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute longer; remove from heat.
- Stir in butter and lemon peel until butter is melted. Gradually stir in lemon juice and food color. Press plastic wrap on filling to prevent a tough layer from forming on top. Refrigerate about 2 hours or until set.
- Leftover filling can be tightly covered and refrigerated up to 5 days; do not freeze. Let stand 30 minutes at room temperature to soften; stir before using. Store cakes or pastries filled with Lemon Filling covered in refrigerator.

Steps:
- Begin by preparing the Thin Lemon Cookies. The recipe is linked in the notes below.
- As the cookies cool, prepare the lemon cream filling.
- Beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. (Either a stand or hand mixer will work. I recommend using the whisk attachment.)
- Then, beat in the confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Next, slowly add the heavy whipping cream, beating until stiff peaks form.
- Add the filling to a piping bag fitted with a round tip (or a plastic bag with a corner snipped off). Place 2-3 teaspoons of filling on the bottom of a thin lemon cookie and top with another thin lemon cookie to sandwich the cream. Repeat with remaining cookies.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container in a chilled location. The cookies can also be frozen.
