MARGARITA CUPCAKES

Moist, tart, and sweet these Margarita Cupcakes are full of lime, margarita mix, and, yes, tequila! Don’t worry the tequila bakes out leaving a unique flavor in these most popular cupcakes!

Margarita Cupcakes

Margarita Cupcakes are the dessert version of the popular cocktail and a real crowd-pleaser.
It’s a tequila lime cupcake with creamy frosting that you’ll love!

My kitchen is always in disarray. Somewhat,……..ok, mostly because of my lack of attention to only one task at a time.

This is how it goes. I start making, say, breakfast, then I remember I need to feed the sourdough bread so I do that halfway through making biscuits…… Then I remember I need to make cupcakes for the cookout today so I sit eggs, butter and cream cheese out….. Oh, yeah, back to the biscuits….. Ryder comes in ‘When’s bweckfast? What are we havin’? I want bacon.’

And so it goes……………

I always have dirty dishes on the counter and ingredients sitting out.

You have been warned!

But in the middle of that chaos, these beautiful and delicious Margaritas Cupcakes were created!
