Steps:
- For The Cake Directions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together the cake mix, sugar and flour in a large mixing bowl. Add in wet ingredients: water, sour cream, oil, mango, and eggs. Beat on low until mixed then bet on medium/high for 2 minutes. Line cupcake pan with paper cups and fill 2/3 way full with batter. Turn oven down to 325 degrees and bake for about 25-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- For the Filling In a medium saucepan, combine all ingredients. Whisk over med/high heat until mixture thickens. Take off heat, cover, and chill.
- For the Frosting Combine butter, shortening, vanilla, lime juice, and mango in a large mixing bowl. Beat on high for 5 minutes. Turn mixer to low. Add the powdered sugar, little by little, until mixture becomes thick and creamy and there are no lumps. Add more or less powdered sugar as needed to get the desired consistency.
- Putting the Cupcake Together Once the cupcakes are cooled and the custard is chilled, place the custard in a piping bag with a large tip (I use Wilton #12 tip). Poke the tip 2/3 of the way into the cupcake and gently squeeze filling into the center of the cupcake being careful not to bust the cupcake. The filling should push the tip up and out the top of the cupcake as it fills the center. Do this for every cupcake. Place frosting in piping bag with whatever tip you would like and frost away. Garnish with key lime zest (or sugar sprinkles).

- Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting to set properly.
