One look at these cupcakes and I had to make them. I've had lemon-lime on my mind lately, so reading this blog post was kismet. Of course I didn't have any of your wonderful specialty items on hand, but they are on my King Arthur shopping list now. Oh, what to do? I went ahead and made the cupcakes using the zest and juice of the lemon and lime as the flavoring. They came out perfectly, so I encourage other readers to go ahead and give it a try. These are lovely cupcakes for this time of year. I especially like that they were made with vegetable oil and not butter. I find that makes for a nice moist cupcake. I detailed the substitutions in a blog post for those who are interested: http://www.justonedonna.com/2011/07/lemon-lime-cupcakes.html. Thanks again for another great recipe. I love Baking Banter! Thank you for sharing your beautiful blog entry and for supporting us. I love the citrus cream cheese frosting idea, I may give that one a try myself. ~Amy
