Make cupcakes with a Key lime flavor twist! Both a filling and a frosting make them special.

To fix some of the problems other listed below: Use 1 tsp lime extract and 1 tsp lime zest in the cake batter. Cook as directed and cool. To help with the two frostings....I put the filling in a lg pastry bag and filled the cupcakes (insert tip 1/2 way into cup cakes and fill until the cupcakes slightly swell) then frost with 'frosting'

These are SOOOOOOO delicious. My only problem was that I made them to take to work (frosted them in the morning after making the cupcakes and the fronstings the night before) and by the time I got to work some of the frosting had slipped off. No matter, they are delicious. I made the recipe just as described, but next time I might try to cut some calories and fat by experimenting with cool whip. I used the bottled Key Lime juice and it worked very well - just enough lime flavor. People loved them.

Theses cupcakes were delicious and I got lots of great comments from the teachers at school once I got them to try them!! Be careful - they do not do well in the heat. I iced them in the morning on cool cupcakes from the night before and by the time I got them to school many of the toppings had slid off. I was kind of confused making them with the word "filling" when they really have 2 icings. I might suggest making them the night before and refrigerating them overnight before trying to transport them anywhere.

I gave it only 3 spoons because the actual cake was not that good. However, the topping was excellent and everyone loved it! I used a white cake instead and I decided to take the lime zest and lime juice from the frosting and add it to the cake instead. The topping was enough, I felt more frosting would be over the top. The cake had little flavor to it even after adding the lime, it was just a box cake. I would like to have more punch for the flavors in the actual cake, but the topping was fabulous.

These were good. I left off the white frosting and just dusted them with lime zest which was nice but next time I think that I will use the filling and actually fill the cupcake and use the white frosting to frost the cupcake and dust with a lime zest.

We love these...I make them often. Usually, I just use a little whipped cream or even whipped topping (depending on how much time I have) because I'm not a big fan of frosting. Also, I add a little more lime juice to the filling to make sure it has enough zing! I just made these for a bake sale at school and I've had sooo many requests for the recipe.

I modified a bit. I substituted fresh lime juice for water in the cake mix, then cut an x in the cup cake and put the frosting inside. My 5 year old picked these for her birthday and I thought the girls would like the surprise inside the cup cake. I will certainily make these again!
