Gorgeous fluffy lime cupcakes with lime whipped cream to match the polka dot cupcake wrapper!

I think the best part about these beautiful lime cupcakes with lime whipped cream isn't the beautiful green lime slice on top (though I adore that), but that fact that creator The Culinary Chronicles made these to match her cupcake liners! Via Flickr.

I also went back and forth for awhile between a few different possible frostings for the cakes—-lime cream cheese, lime buttercream, lime swiss meringue buttercream….so many options. And then the lime whipped cream I had made for the Key Lime Cheesecake popped in my mind. I just loved it with the cheesecake and felt like it would be great with the cupcakes. After a quick survey of some peeps, it was settled—Lime Whipped Cream it was.

And it was P-E-R-F-E-C-T! Since the cakes were so light and fluffy, the whipped cream was a perfect pairing! I had never had a cupcake topped with whipped cream before and the end result was actually quite refreshing.
