Cocktail Cupcakes

The first in a series of cocktail cupcakes. Mojito cupcakes taste so good and healthy thanks to the lime and mint.

Don't go overboard on the rum in the cakemix, if you want them more alocholic add more to the syrup or inside the cakes.

I originally found the recipe on bakespace but altered the frosting as below:
The cake needs:
-- 1 cup softened butter
-- 1 cup brown sugar
-- 2 cups self rising flour
-- .25 tsp baking powder
-- 4 eggs
-- zest of one lime
-- juice of one lime
-- 1 shot of rum
-- A handful of fresh chopped mint
The syrup inside needs:
-- 3 tbsp rum
-- 2 tbsp lime
-- 2 tbsp brown sugar
-- 1 tsp mint
The icing needs:
-- 1.5-2 tbsp softened butter
-- 1.5-2 tbsp trex
-- 3 cup icing sugar
-- a shot of rum
-- a splash of lime juice
-- some lime zest
-- some chopped up mint

Mix the cake ingredients up, whilst preheating the oven at 180 degrees C. Put it in cupcake cases in a cake tin. Bake for 20 minutes.

While the cakes are cooking, mix 3 tbsp rum, 2 tbsp lime, 2 tbsp brown sugar and a tsp mint together in a saucepan and simmer for 5 minutes.

When the cupcakes come out, poke a few holes in the top and then pour a tsp or so of the syrup into the holes.

Mix together the frosting ingredients. Make sure you wait til the cakes have completely cooled before using an icing bag to apply.

Decorate with glitter, lime or sprigs of mint.
