Hi Susie! It should keep for 5 days or so.

Ack, sorry!! When I replied I thought it was for my lime and coconut cake. The meringue is best done day of, unfortunately. It doesn’t last too long/well on its own and I find that rewhipping it never fluffs it up as much as the first time. Can you do everything else in advance and the meringue the day of? So sorry for the confusion!

Actually, is it a buttercream or meringue? Would the meringue be doable ahead as well if I rewhip that?

Hi Krista! If you can make all components ahead of time that would be ideal. Then you can just use the hand mixer to rewhip the buttercream rather that trying to make it from scratch which could be a challenge.
For the Cake: Cool the layers, double wrap in plastic wrap, freeze for up to 3 mos. Take out 2-3 hours before assembly.
For the Buttercream: Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for 1 week for freeze for 3 mos. Bring to room temp and rewhip before using.
For the Curd: Cool completely and place in an airtight container with plastic wrap directly on top. Refrigerate for a week or freeze for up to 3 mos.

I hope that helps!

Is the recipe doable with just a hand mixer? Any suggestions? Can the key lime curd be made ahead? If I make the cake the day before, should I put it in the fridge or freezer?

Hi Julie! Yes, it should work fine as cupcakes. Just reduce the baking time — start checking at 15mins or so.
