Key Lime Cupcake-age

out of focus.
Still working on my piping skills... One looks really good, the others not so much.
Key Lime cream filled center
First of all, I love Key Lime. I wasn't sure if this cupcake was going to do my favorite pie justice. Surprisingly it was quite lovely. I did miss graham cracker goodness. Tim thought the frosting could have been tweaked, he was thinking the coconut frosting would be good with it. I personally like to mix toasted coconut into my graham cracker crusts for my key lime pies, so I can totally picture that combo. I think I like Key Lime more than the average bear, so I was good with Key Lime frosting and Key Lime filling.

So instead of just putting the key lime cream on top of the cupcake I had Tim pipe it into the center of the cupcake, I'm totally down with that.

My coworkers liked them but not as much as they liked the Double Coconut Cupcakes. I guess the whole refrigeration aspect of this cupcake is a problem. August is a fairly warm month. So, delicious, I will probably try to make these again, but not for the reception I guess.
