Cake Decorating - Margartia Cupcake - Memorial Day 2009

Yummy!!!  Paige and I made these margarita cupcakes for Memorial Day.  (Kid Friendly).

Here's the recipe:

1 pkg. white cake mix (I ALWAYS use Duncan Hines)

10 ounces Margarita mix (you can also buy 1 can frozen Margarita Mix)

3 egg whites

2 T. oil

1 T. lime zest, grated

Preheat oven to 350° F. Line standard muffin pan with baking cups.

In large bowl, combine cake mix, Margarita mix, egg whites and vegetable oil using electric mixer. Stir in lime zest; mix completely. Fill prepared pans 2/3 full.

Bake 22-24 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cupcake comes out clean.

Cool in pan on cooling rack 5-8 minutes. Remove cupcakes from pan; cool completely.

Frost cooled cupcakes with lime cream cheese frosting and garnish with a lime twist.
