When life hands you limes


This weekend I was making cupcakes for my friend Megan's big 3-0! I often reach for Ina Garten's simple and elegant recipes and this was no exception. Her vanilla cupcakes were reviewed as moist and fluffy, and indeed they were. Reading the list of the ingredients, however, I felt that they lack something and I added zest of one lime to each the batter and the frosting. Now, I LOVE lime and keep it on hand to use in my water or margaritas and now I found a new use for it!
The birthday girl and her family loved the cupcakes and the extra-little--zesty-something, too!

  1. Lime rocks! I think your food pictures are excellent. I do nothing special to take my food pictures, except I never use a flash...
