Kinda Like Key Lime Pie.... Kinda Not...

Hello friends, family & strangers!

Before I get into my marvelous cupcake of the week, I want to make an announcement.

I'm going to have a contest.... with prizes...
Calm down... its not that exciting. :)
Anyway. I'll be posting about it soon. Just be keeping your eyes out!!!

Back to the main story....

This week's cupcake has been waiting to be made for 2 weeks now...
All the ingredients waited patiently for me to get my act together and do some baking.

Pardon the Spongebob reference... It was too perfect.

Anyway. 2 weeks flew by, and I finally had a reason to bake besides procrastinating *audience gasps*
I needed wanted to bring cupcakes to a movie night my friend was having. Voila. I had an excuse.

So here it is, My 'kinda like key lime pie, kinda not' cupcake.
But since thats an obnoxious mouthful, we will go with this:

The finished product! :)

Key Lime & Coconut Cupcakes 
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour
Oven Temp: 350º

Cupcake Ingredients

• Betty Crocker French Vanilla Cake Mix
• 3 Eggs
• 1 C. Water
• 1/3 C. Oil
• 1/2 C Shredded Coconut
• Cupcake Liners

Frosting / Garnish Ingredients

• 1 can Pillsbury Key Lime Frosting
• Shredded Coconut for Garnish
• Pastry Bag, if desired

Preheat oven to 350º. In a bowl, Combine eggs, water & oil. In another bowl, combine dry cake mix and coconut. Dump cake & coconut mixture in with the wet ingredients and stir until well combined.

Fill cupcake liners 2/3 full and bake for 15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.

Now the frosting process is EXTREMELY complicated.

Take the frosting and put in pastry bag with desired tip, etc. (I used a Wilton #21)

Frost cupcake, garnish with coconut, and you're done!

Note: You could also use those cute little drink umbrellas for a decoration, but I don't believe in non-edible decoration. But you can use whatever you'd like. :)
