About
I love Key Limes, Key Lime Pie and well just about anything made with Key Limes. I grew up in Florida, home of sunshine, citrus and yep you guessed it Key Limes. For years I would have to purchase bottle juice when I went back home for a visit or maybe grab a bag of limes if I was lucky. Then the local discount store decided to carrry both the limes and the juice... until recently... shoot! Wouldn't you know it, I had my mouth set for something tart and sweet and well Key Limey.
Don't fear though, these cupcakes are divine even if I had to use a regular lime, they are worth the time. I could have eaten the bowl of frosting by itself but decided a trip to the hospital or sick in bed would not be worth it.
