1 pillsbury moist supreme key lime flavored premium cake mix
1 cup water
¹⁄₂ cup oil
3 eggs
1 -3 lime
For Frosting
8 ounces cream cheese
¹⁄₂ cup butter (softened)
2 cups sifted powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 ounces Jello gelatin, mix (Lime or Margarita Flavored)
4 ounces of white sugar candy sprinkles (optional)

directions

Follow instructions on Cake mix, but zest 1 of the limes and add it to the batter for a kick.
Place Cupcakes in oven and bake for 22 minutes.
While the cupcakes are baking, it is time to make the icing!
Mix the cream cheese and butter till well combined.
Then mix in the vanilla and slowly add the powdered sugar.
Next add some of the jello mix. Add little spoonfuls at a time then taste and see if you need to add more flavoring.
Once the cupcakes are out of the oven and cool begin to frost the cupcakes.
After all the cupcakes are frosted sprinkle some of the sugar crystal sprinkles to look like the salt around the rim of the Margarita.
If you do not like sprinkles, add some lime zest on the tops of the cupcakes instead.
