As you might already know, I'm not big on baking from scratch, so I actually like using box mixes and doctoring them.

These Coconut Lime Cupcakes with Coconut Cream Frosting are light, fluffy, and scrumptious with a subtle hint of lime and coconut in the cake and a light, yummy, not-too-sweet frosting on top.
