MARGARITA CUPCAKES

Today I bring you a recipe that is just perfect for Spring/Summer, much like my Lemon Raspberry Layer Cake. I bring you my latest cupcake recipe – Margarita Cupcakes!
These cupcakes are incredibly moist and fluffy, and are infused with a little tequila and lime. I mean, who doesn’t love spiking their Summer desserts to make them even more fun?? 😉
I’ve topped them with a sweet buttercream frosting that is also infused with tequila and lime to make these the ULTIMATE Margarita Cupcakes!
