KEY LIME CUPCAKES
Key lime cupcakes have all the flavors of key lime pie in a pretty little cupcake. Bright and fresh lime flavor that's a little tart, a little sweet, that make for a bright summery dessert.

Steps:
- For the cupcakes:
- Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a 12-muffin tin with liners.
- To a bowl add the butter and sugar and beat until light and pale using an electric mixer. Add the eggs, one at a time and beat until mixed. Add the milk, key lime, zest and juice, beat until well mixed.
- Add the flour, baking powder and salt a little at a time and beat on low until well mixed and smooth. Don't overmix once you add the flour. If the mix is too thick, add a little more milk. You want a pourable consistency, but not too runny.
- Use an ice cream scoop to add divide the batter between all the cups, a little over halfway filled.
- Bake for 20 minutes until golden. When a toothpick inserted in the center it should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and cool the cupcakes on a wire rack.
- For the frosting:
- Beat the cream cheese and butter with an electric mixer. Slowly add powdered sugar while beating. Add lime juice zest. Don't overmix or it will be too soft to pipe.
- To get the two-tone piping, transfer 2 tablespoons of the frosting to a separate bowl and mix with the green and yellow coloring until it is lime green.
- Refrigerate the frosting for 30 minutes to make it firm for piping
- Add the piping tip of choice to a piping bag (I used a start tip). Hold the tip and turn the bag inside out over your hand, paste the green frosting to the side of the bag, close to the tip. Use a separate spoon to add the white frosting to the other side of the bag. Whatever ratio you use, you want more white than green. Pipe onto the cupcakes.

- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Place 24 of the paper baking cups in each of 24 regular size muffin cups. Make cake batter as directed on box. Spoon about 1 rounded tablespoonful batter into each muffin cup, using about half of the batter. (Muffin cups will be about one-third full.) Refrigerate remaining batter. Bake 11 to 15 minutes (14 to 20 minutes for dark or nonstick pan) or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pan to cooling rack. Repeat with remaining baking cups and batter. Cool cupcakes completely, about 15 minutes.

- In a medium bowl using a handheld electric mixer, or in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and cream cheese on medium-speed until smooth and creamy. Reduce the speed to low and gradually add in the powdered sugar and lime juice, beating until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add in the salt, key lime juice, extract and zest; beat smooth. If the consistency appears too thick, add a teaspoon of milk or heavy cream, but only if necessary. The frosting should be creamy and spreadable, but also thick enough to hold its shape. Pipe or spread the frosting on top of each cooled cupcake.
