Today was mom's 73rd birthday so we made some lime cupcakes (from a cake mix) and took them up to her hours. I did make a homemade Key Lime Frosting as I think homemade frosting is the best. Happy Birthday Mom!
8 TB butter, softened
8 ounce cream cheese, softened
2 TB key lime juice
1 teaspoon key lime zest
4-5 cups confectioners' sugar
Cream butter, cream cheese, juice and zest with electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add 4 cups confectioners' sugar, one cup at a time; continue beating until light and fluffy. If icing is too thin add additional confectioners' sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time.
