- 1 T lime juice (fresh squeezed with pulp!!)
- a little zest of the lemon + the lime.. less than a teaspoon

I really don’t have a good cupcake recipe– so anything that goes with lemon + lime would be a great pick!!
I tried this recipe for VEGAN MARGARITA CUPCAKES but had no luck.. they didn’t rise.. or cook all of the way through + the bottoms burned.. it COULD have been the oven.. it wasn’t one I was used to!!
So I made a batch of these guys + just cut the recipe in half — good- but tasted like store bought– so not worth the trouble to me!!
AND if you have a great cupcake recipe + want to share that would be superuper fabby!!

Icing and salsa… awesome!
Now I have to do my own taco salad night so I have an excuse to make this salsa. I’m so tired of tomato-based salsas.
I’m salivating for corn salsa and it’s not even 9 a.m.!
This cake recipe makes the best buttery and tender bakery-style cupcakes!! These would go perfectly with your icing!! http://johnstonesvinblanc.blogspot.com/2009/01/overnight-stay-kate-and-sloppy-joe-with.html
