Key Lime Cupcakes

Do you like Key Lime Pie?  If so, it is certain you will like these cupcakes!  This is what you need:

Cupcakes:
1 box lemon cake mix
1 box (4-serving size) lime gelatin
3/4 cup water
1/3 cup lime juice
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs

Heat oven to 350 Place paper baking cups in each of 24 regular size muffin cups.  

Mix cupcake ingredients listed above on low then on medium, scraping bowl occasionally.  Pour into baking cups and bake 19-24 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.  Cool in pan 10 minutes. Remove from pan.

Glaze
1 cup powdered sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons Key Lime juice

In small bowl mix powdered sugar and lime juice and stir until smooth. With a toothpick, poke 3 -4 holes in cupcakes then put some glaze on top of cupcake.

Frosting
1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese, room temp
1/4 cup butter or marg, room temp
1 tsp vanilla
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar

In large bowl, beat cream cheese and butter on medium speed until light and fluffy.  On low speed add vanilla and powdered sugar, beat until fluffy.  You can spread frosting onto top of cupcake or use the bag and tip to swirl your icing onto the cupcakes.  (I had to add some more powdered sugar to make the frosting thick enough for my icing bag.)
