Key lime cake is a favorite of one of my coworkers, but when I searched for a recipe, it seemed they all contained box cake mix or lime jell-o. I'm not one for using box ingredients, so I altered my vanilla cake recipe by adding lime zest and lime juice to create this moist and delicious key lime cake. I frosted the cake with a lime cream cheese frosting and covered it with my homemade fondant. Although making fondant is fairly simple, it is an extra step, but I think it's well worth it since store bought fondant doesn't have the best taste. The daisies, flower stems and pearls are also made using fondant.
Although this cake is green, it doesn't have to be. For those who stray away from dye and food coloring, the green can certainly be left out.
