Hey, I just made macsmom's margarita cake for the first time and am planning on filling it with lime curd. My question is about about the frosting. Should I flavor my buttercream with the lime curd? Would that be too much lime (the cake, the filling, the frosting)? Would it be nasty to use a teeeny bit of tequila in the frosting? Just plain vanilla? Lemon cake is great with sour cream icing, should try it w/this?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Most of the margarita cake and cupcake recipes that I have seen include tequila in the frosting. It is quite yummy and not nasty at all......but very adult tasting.....
Do a google search and you will find many recipes for buttercream with tequila to go with your margarita cakes and cupcakes.
my personal choice is vanilla/coconut buttercream. more emphasis on vanilla than coconut.
The coconut sounds like a great idea. I've been wanting to make the Margarita cake and was going to try it with a hint of lime in the bc, but coconut vanilla is going to be it for me

Also, If you wanted to add a hint of tequila, a simple syrup with a tablespoon of tequila could be brushed on the cake before filling.. That would also give you an opportunity to open the tequila to "see if it is good or not."javascript:emoticon('')
