Bakers come in please!
My moms birthday is August 23 and her favorite dessert is key lime pie. I thought about making her a key lime pie (instead of a cake) and I still like that idea, but then I was thinking what if I made her key lime pie cupcakes?! YUM. Then it's cakey and pie-y.
So this is the recipe I'm thinking about going with. What do you think? I want the frosting to look better, more professional looking I guess. And I'm not using those chocolates (hello! $44 for a box of seashell chocolates? no thanks) but I am going to sprinkle the tops with crushed graham crackers.
I'm a good baker, so the cake part I'm not worried about. It's the frosting. ::sigh:: I can make a good frosting, I'm just a disaster when it comes to applying.
Re: Bakers come in please!
my cream cheese frosting is similar.... 1 bar cream cheese, 1 stick salted butter, 4 c confectioner's sugar, 1 tsp vanilla.... you can add the lime juice in there when mixing the room temp butter and vanilla. My favorite tip.... do NOT bring the cream cheese to room temp -- mix butter, vanilla, lime - then add sugar 1 cup at a time - THEN cube up the cream cheese and toss them in a few at a time. The frosting will keep its shape better and will have less of a tendency to melt.
why not garnish with a candied lime? I found this for you....
Oh -- use a pastry bag to decorate. They're only a few dollars - and if you can find a big tip, get a 1M. That's the best!!
oh, YUM! Want to send me a couple while you're at it? Anything key lime makes my heart go all aflutter.
