Margarita Cupcakes
10 oz. margarita mix
3 oz. tequila
white cake mix
3 egg whites
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp lime zest
Combine the magarita mix and the tequila. You will only use 1 1/4 cups of this, enjoy the rest!
Add all other ingredients to margarita and beat on low for 30 seconds, then on medium for 2 minutes. Fill muffin cups about 2/3 full. Bake on 350 for 20 minutes or until done.
I filled these cupcakes with lime curd.. yummy!
Lime Buttercream Frosting
1 stick softened unsalted butter
4 cups powdered sugar
1/8 tsp salt
3 Tbsp lime juice
green food color (optional, unless you're me, then it's mandatory!)
Combine all ingredients and beat until fluffy, adding more lime juice if it is too thick (mine was).
Garnish with a "sugar rim."

i did notice! i just figured it was the lighting. :) um, these look awesome. and you're the total master of multi-tasking...you made cupcakes after a night of b-partying, flair obsessing, and board studying!
btw, i hope you had a margarita while you took a practice exam ;)
Cole and I have decided that we want to become official taste tester's in Jamie's kitchen! They look WONDERFUL!:)
