Now, for the Lime Cupcakes…a couple months ago, I shared my Mini Key Lime Cupcakes over at Lifetime Moms. They were so delicious, that I thought they would taste good in a regular cupcake too. So, I played around a little and came up with a couple different variations for you.

I used real whipping cream for the topping.

1. Beat until stiff peaks form, add a dash of vanilla for flavor and about 1/2 cup powdered sugar.
2. Place in decorator bag, and pipe onto the top.
3. Add a few green sprinkles if desired.

For the second variation, I left the cupcakes whole and filled the inside with the Key Lime filling.

1. There are several ways to fill a cupcake, most of the time, I use an apple corer to make a hole in the center and then fill.
2. Top with whipping cream and a wedge of fresh lime.
