The Cupcakery
is always looking for a reason
to start baking.
made us think of
all the wonderful flavors you might find

We decided on cupcakes
full of lime and tequila flavor
to represent
the classic margarita cocktail.
We knew the co-workers, as well as the bakers,
We knew the co-workers, as well as the bakers,
would certainly enjoy this one.
We began with our basic classic
vanilla cupcake, but
added plenty of our two special ingredients,
the lime and tequila.
We even brushed a bit more
of tequila on the top of each cupcake
when they were still warm from the oven.
One trick to keeping your cupcakes
moist and yummy is to not
over bake them.
Cupcakes are not that big and can
be easily left in the oven too long.
A few moist crumbs clinging to the toothpick
will insure that the cupcakes will be perfect.

These cupcakes ended up being

ReplyDeleteMy mouth is watering. The look delicious. Hugs
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cupcakes!! They look fabulous! (I hope they were served at the end of the work day, lol)
ReplyDeleteSo you put Tequila in the cup cake mixture as well as the frosting? I've never thought of cooking with tequila. These cakes look so delicious especially with those twists of lime.
ReplyDeleteWhen I would make my Pina Colada cake and take it to work, I would always tell people it had liquor in it just in case they might have a problem with that. Never had anybody turn down a piece because of that but you never know. Your cupcakes look delicious. Did you save one for me?
ReplyDeleteYum!!
ReplyDeleteOh. My. Goodness. I wish I'd been there! blessings, marlene
