If you choose Lemon Lime, your Cupcake Personality is: The Free Spirit

The Free Spirit: Everyone wants to be your pal. Your sparkling personality and infectious laugh is what first attracts people to you… and then they stay for the cupcakes. You are a spontaneous, free-spirit, and you hate the cold. When winter gets to be too much, you travel on a whim to someplace warm. Your lime-green bathing suit, flip-flops and a good book are always packed and ready to go, just in case.
