Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 18 muffin/cupcake baking pans with cupcake liners.In a large bowl of a standing mixer or a large bowl and a hand mixer, place the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Mix to combine. Turn the mixer on low speed and add the butter one piece at a time, until the mixture looks like wet sand. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until the mixture comes together, being careful not to over mix. Add the buttermilk, lemon zest and vanilla extract. (I usually just mix them together in a medium bowl.) Mix on medium speed until the cupcake batter is smooth.Divide the batter between 18 cupcake liners. Add about a Tablespoon of raspberry jam to the center of each cupcake and then swirl the jam in the batter with a toothpick or a butterknife to distribute it. Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes. Cool completely.Meanwhile, make the frosting. Using a standing mixer or a hand mixer, mix the cream cheese and butter until smooth and then add the confectioner's sugar and vanilla extract, starting on low speed at first, or else you'll have a cloud of sugar all over the kitchen. Gradually increase the speed until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.When the cupcakes are completely cool, use a small offset spatula or a butter knife to frost the top of the cupcakes. Since we will be decorating the cupcakes with candy, we only need enough frosting to hold the candy in place. Cut the mini marshmallows in half with scissors and cut the gumdrops in half with a sharp knife. Place the gumdrop halves in the center of the cupcakes and then place the mini marshmallows, cut side up, around the cupcakes, in a circular pattern.

Food Joke

Mother Teresa dies and of course goes directly to heaven. God greets her and asks her, "After you get familiar with this place, how about we have dinner together?" "I would love to eat dinner with you!" Later that evening they meet up for dinner and she takes a seat at the dining room table. God is in the kitchen and starts preparing a very simple meal: one can of tuna fish and some crackers. Through some cracks in the floor, Mother Teresa looks down at Hell; she sees fire and red hot flames with hundreds of thousands of people, and they are dining on lobster, fine wine, chocolate cakes, steaks, pancakes, row after row of fine food. Mother Teresa can't help but ask, "God, look at how they're eating down there. Shouldn't we be dining even better than Hell? You are just serving canned tuna and crackers..." God says, "Well, I figure since it's just the two of us, why cook?"
