I love, love, love it when I get an order and am told to make whatever I want. I get to play around and have so much fun. For a recent order I added a new addition to my cupcake family, cherry lime! It's a simple cherry recipe with lime buttercream, but the two flavors pair nicely and it tastes like cherry limeade so is perfect for summer time. I love using lime zest in frosting because you get this great burst of freshness when you take the first bite. I have to say, the topper is obviously not homemade, but I thought it was playful, plus those candies always smell really good. The only problem is that I've become a very efficient baker and where as I used to have tons of extras left over, I ended up with only one... that I had to share with my official taste tester. Next time I make these puppies I know to accidentally make too many.
