Cherry Limeade Cupcake (with a recipe link!)

I've been drooling over Annie's Eats Cherry Limeade cupcakes.  I mean really, can you go wrong with that flavor combo?  Plus, anyone  who has ever had the cherry limeade slushy from Sonic knows how delicious it is!

This week, I made my version of the Cherry Limeade cupcake.  I started with lime infused sugar, lots of lime juice, and frozen lime juice concentrate.  (Actually, it was a lime margarita mix, but hey... that works too, right?) I topped off the cupcake with a super sweet cherry frosting topped with a fresh lime wedge and maraschino cherry. Pretty much perfect for the summer!

To learn how to make these, check out JavaCupcake for the recipe and how-to! You'll even learn how to make your own lime sugar!

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.
