Vanilla Lime Curd Cupcakes

Posted on May 18, 2017 by Kerry

Vanilla Lime Curd Cupcakes have amazing flavor from the Lime Curd and great balance from the Vanilla Cupcakes and Vanilla Buttercream Frost.

I have a local coffee shop I love. They have the best coffee. I have yet to find one in my travels that compares. Every year they raise money for our crisis pregnancy center. One year they made Vanilla Lime Curd Cupcakes to raise money. They were the best cupcakes I’ve ever had. A few years later I begged the owner to make more. She was sweet and made some just for me. I don’t want to ask her to make more just for me. So I set out to figure out how to make them myself.

As I worked to figure out how to make the Vanilla Lime Curd Cupcakes, I found it was pretty easy. I rarely make cakes or cupcakes especially ones that need to be frosting. I had to ask for assistance for my tribe in how to work the piping bags and tips. But I think my frostings turned out well considering I haven’t done it in a very long time. I think the last time I piped frosting was when I made the Red Velvet Cupcakes with Mint Cream Cheese Icing.

I used a filling tip like this one.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And I used this tip for piping the icing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lime curd has a very strong but amazing flavor. The vanilla cupcakes help balance it out. I also made vanilla buttercream frosting.  I think I could eat the entire batch by myself.
