I made this Key Lime Cream Cake to go along with a fun handbag giveaway for today.
If you’ve followed the blog for a while you may remember this Red Velvet Clutch or this Buttercream Bag from a while ago. I know – handbags are kind of weird to show on a baking site, but not when the theme is cake and when the bag colors come in fun flavors like Key Lime Cream. Umm… yes please. The bags are from the Petunia Pickle Bottom line called … Cake. And I’ve been enamored with them for a while now. They are actually fashionably disguised diaper bags. But you can totally rock them without having to carry diapers around all day to justify wearing one. They are definitely too pretty for just one purpose.
I’ll show you in a minute. But first… a little Key Lime Cream Cake.
Decorated with swirls of whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs. Yum!
And four layers of key lime cake. Four uneven layers that I could have split better. But that’s okay. Still good.
Here’s the recipe or if you are more interested in the giveaway, just keep scrolling.

I’d love to have the Key Lime bag along with a slice of the Key Lime cake please.
I would also like to know how you got those graham crackers so artfully scalloped around the lower portion of the cake. That’s a beautiful application and equally lovely presentation.
Was recently in Key West so key lime is obvious for me!
I love Petunia Pickle Bottom bags! I really like all of these “flavors” and would happily take any, but I guess I would choose… Key Lime. This would be great timing since I am currently 8 1/2 months pregnant!
Also, I think I will be making this cake before the baby comes (so, very soon) because it looks amazing!
Love, love, love. Berry Chiffon please! :)
