Recipe-Key Lime Cupcakes

Ok, having the 5th person ask for the key lime cup cake recipe that was so stinkin good was the last straw that pushed me to finally get on here and post it. I wanted to make sure and post it before summer was over because I think of it as more of a summer cupcake that is refreshing....like lemonade or something. There are alot of recipes out there and I combined a few ideas till i thought it was right. Here it is :)


1 box LEMON cake mix( i'm a cheater I know, but it was tasty!)
1/2-1/3 cup lime juice
1/2-1 box lime flavored gelatin mix(keep tasting it till you like it, but you want it to be sorta strong cause the frosting will tame it down)
few drops green food coloring if desired to make it look bright! ( I used the gel but liquid would word fine)
I just followed the eggs, oil, and/or water measurements that were on the back of the cake mix i used, because they are going to differ a little.

Frosting
2 pkg softened cream cheese
1/2 cup butter
2 cups  powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla, or a little more if it needs it.

Like I said, I will be making these again sometime because I thought they were different than the usual but still amazing.

ENJOY!

FUN.

FUN. is a band. Flagstaff was lucky enough to see them in concert last week. I was lucky enough to take Kallam to his first real concert(because Josh Groban does NOT count). Our friends Necia and Tyson even got to come to the concert with us!


We even went down to the standing room only section so we could be super close!







Just in case you didn't feel like you were there partying with us enough, i've included the video of them performing one of our favorite songs. Hats off to Kallam for controlling his urge to dance while the song was being played so that it wasn't shaky. You may even recognize the song from the radio, cause its EVERYWHERE. Enjoy!









Needless to say, Kallam is fully converted to concerts, and FUN. was fun. (I had to)
