But yes..totally worth it! I used your filling recipe for some regular big key lime tarts ('cause I was too lazy to make small ones). They turned out great! http://petitedecadence.com/2012/03/30/work-for-it-key-lime-pie/ I know what you mean about tartlets and small baked goods….they’re so cute they trick you into forgetting they’re incredibly tedious to make!

I am going to attempt to frost with your swiss buttercream also. Why do I think I can make a wedding cake? I have had so much luck with your other recipes that it might be giving me false confidence!

I hadn't realized this at the time. The mini-tart pans, however, especially with removable bottoms, are more useful. These are more like cups.

I thought what we here in California call Mexican Limes are the same as Key Limes and ours (we have a killer tree out front) are small, tart and yellow when ripe and much tastier than Bearrs limes (those large green and way too sweet things). Perfect for gin and tonics, mojitos and BC's key lime tart! (Just had one this week!) Anyone know about Mexican Limes? Whoa, are key limes really green?
