Yah! Those cupcakes look delicious! I am glad you gave us the recipe so I can try to make those YUMMY cupcakes! Thank you!
It looks delish!!!!!!
Your cupcake looks so YUMMY!!! You do such a great job with icing the cupcakes, you should go into business making cupcakes - make them into bouquets and place them in baskets for center pieces - I have seen them done at weddings and they are all the rage. Great job.

Looks yummy. How do you get your icing to look so good?

That cup cake looks so prefect! You getting to be a pro. Looks almost to pretty to eat notice I said almost...lol That butter milk trick is so handy. I dont keep it so when I have something that requires it I do that as well. Works every time.

These turned out great! Love the green cake color & your icing work looks terrific!! :)
Robyn, You have gotten so good with your cupcakes - they are beautiful!
OMG!! That is the coolest looking cupcake every! Next you should make them with pink frosting. Green and Pink look so good together. Robyn is there anything you don't just rock at? lol

Well this is another must have recipe! My neighbor LOVES Key Lime and I have a key lime tree, so I shall make this instead of the pie I was going to make. BTW: Made your pumpkin cupcakes they were a big hit. I had to change up the recipe a little since the hubs bought the pre-made pumpkin filling and I had only 3 cups of powder sugar on hand. They still tasted AMAZING!
Oh my! Those look and sounds so delicious!! I will have to try them :) Thanks for sharing
I'm going to make this recipe for my daughter's cross country team after practice. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
They look soooo yummy!!! MMMM XOXO, Julie. :0)
These look so good!!!! Now I'm hungry.......! Thanks for sharing!

We did key lime cupcakes for my daughters reception in July, only we added coconut extract to the frosting and toasted coconut on top! They were a HUGE hit!
I'm not a lime fan, but these look simply gorgeous!
Key Lime Pie is a favorite of mine, especially when visiting Florida fresh is the best...yumm..meee! So I am going to give this Recipe a try. Wish me luck...when I get in the Kitchen I need all I can get...hmmmm! I'll have to use my Cricut cake to decorate.
Thanks for the Recipe.
Robyn, I got so excited when I saw the word Key Lime I forgot to mention how scrumptous your Cupcakes looked. DC Cupcake girls would be very proud of the Icing technique.
Take Care!

MMMMMMM! Key lime pie is one of my absolute faves!!! Thanx for the delicious recipe! (Where did you get that clear box the cupcake is in? Clearbags.com?) Take care! :)
Looks terrific, but I can hear my sugar rising! lol Love the color too.
Oh man, they look so yummy! I think I can almost taste them just by looking at the pic. LOL I would love these but my guys wouldn't, so that makes me sad that I won't get to make them. Glad that you are getting much needed rain. I wish we could send you some of the rain we are getting here. To much flooding going on here!! Have a great weekend!!
Yummy and gorgeous!! Loved everything about this even down to the wrapper!!
Yummy!
So yummy looking. Too much icing for my family who are always watching weight. I'll make the cupcakes and add half the icing!
Oh yum!!! This is definitely going to be tried in my kitchen. Love to bake and cook, but with just the 2 of us, I end up baking, then giving most away. I already know what group of people will receive the lion's share of these. Must keep some for home though. Thanx.
These cupcakes look terribly delicious. My Pink Stamper is one of the blogs I always turn to. I know its a little corny but I wish to share a Butterfly award with you to show my appreciation for all you do! http://mykemmacards.blogspot.com/2011/09/butterfly-award-today-on-one-of-my-blog.html Thanks for inspiring me!

Oh my hubby would love these, each time we come to the U.S my hubby's favourite dessert to have is Key Lime Pie and he always says we just don't make it as good over here in the U.K.
Kim xXx
Why do you tempt us with such things...yummy!
look so yummy! I love the color I will have to try them. Thanks for the recipe.
The cupcake icing looks perfect! Where did you get the clear cupcake box from? That would be a perfect favor for parties. Thanks for sharing Robyn!

Love the cupcakes and tried them today. The cupcakes came out great but the frosting leaves something to be desired. It was to soupy I guess would be the best way to describe it. How do you get it stiff to make the peaks. Would love a tutorial on how to do this. I want my frosting to look just like yours. LOL
Thanks for sharing
Lisa
I just made these & they r Yummy!
