Lime! AH!

I began my quest for creating recipes for our cupcakes that will be available from our cupcakery. I decided if I am going to start doing this, I might as well start with the most complicated cupcake...it is one that I have never made at all...plus it has 4 components...crust, cupcake, filling and topping. So I made a trip to the grocery store and got what I thought I needed. Here was my quest for the perfect key lime cupcake!

I think I packed away my microplane grater :( but I did find my zester! So I just had to take a few extra minutes to zest these babies.

A juicer would have helped

Graham cracker crust...

Thinly sliced limes

There they are! So pretty :)

See! The crust WORKED! yay!!

Whipped cream + sweet cheese, ready to be folded

All combined. This is the point where I knew these were gonna be good...

Put your tops back on girls!

Homemade lime curd!

This was a fear of mine...but it was actually really easy to do!

I said put them back on!!

Geesh. Thank you already!

Oh Lordy...

Gussied up

With its portrait.

I had to test one...

Oh man...I don't think there is anything to fix..........

I want to eat the card now!!

Oh yeah. This was a serious success...

Key Lime recipe?? CHECK!

More News on the Horizon

A good friend and I are the works of starting a cupcake business! It is finally happening! We are super excited and sure that it is going to be a huge success! We have started working on brand imaging, menu, the confusingbutnecessary business end, and all that goes along with that. It is going to be a website/ catering bakery at first and hopefully, one day, we can open a real live bakery! I will be posting the website when it is up and running (I am hoping for late June/July) and in the meantime, if you need cupcakes for a party- you know who to call!

Here are a glimpse of flavors that will be there. These are some paintings I did last night. Yay!!!!
