Key Lime Pie cupcakes...
1 large lime
4 large egg yolks
1 package yellow cake mix
1 pkg Vanilla pudding
1 1/4 cup water
1/3 cup oil
Filling
1 can sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup lime juice
Preheat to 350
Prepare the cupcake batter:
With a citrus zester or fine grater, zest the lime peel and reserve one teaspoon.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze out two Tablespoons.
Set aside.
Separate three of the eggs, place the whites in a large clean mixing bowl and the yolks in another mixing bowl.
Add the remaining egg, cake mix, pudding mix, water, oil, lime zest and juice to the yolks.
Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping down the sides again if needed. The batter should look well blended.
Spoon 1/4 cup batter into each lined cupcake cup, filling it two thirds of the way full.
Place the pans in the oven. Bake 18-22 minutes
Bake the cupcakes until they are lightly golden and spring back when lightly pressed with your finger.
Remove the pans from the oven and place them on wire racks to cool for five minutes.
Loosen the edges of the cupcake liners with a butter knife, lift the cupcakes up from the bottoms of the cups using the end of the knife, and pick them out of the cups carefully with your fingertips. Place them on a wire rack to cool for 15 minutes before filling.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling:
Place the sweetened condensed milk and Key lime juice in a small bowl and stir until combined. Spoon the mixture into a pastry bag fitted with a medium tip. Press the tip 1/4 inch into the top center of each cooked cupcake and squeeze the bag to release about 1 tablespoon filling into the cupcake. Scrape off any excess filling with a rubber spatula.
You may now dust them with confectioners' sugar and serve. |

Hey Fiddlesticks, do you always put your edible images on gumpaste? I've never used an edible image but that might be the next thing I try. |

GrandmaG.. NO this was the first time I did that. I made a diploma and I wanted it to be higher then just the EI laying on the icing. I was happy with the way it worked out. Yes you should try them, they are fun and you can do so many things with them. My cake is in my photos if you want to see what Im talking about. |

Ladies, I am so sorry to ask this but I have searched and keep missing the page where you first talk about using the crunchies. Are you putting them in the cuppies or the icing? Or just tell me what page to go back to.
We left for vacation and I've worked extra hours since then and have also been painting the house so I haven't been paying as close attention to this thread as usual, (shameful, I know) 
Thanks for any help. |

I use the same recipe that Melody posted for key lime cupcakes, and it is one of my top sellers.
I have made them in nutcup before and they were fine! |
