Mojito cupcakes

[Risque Cakes]

Well, today I worked on this recipe that I found on "VISUALRECIPES.COM" for mojito cupcakes.

she gave herself great reviews on the recipe so I said, "Why ever not".

I didn't like the cake part of the recipe at all, it tasted like an HERBAL muffin..lol

It had the muffin/cake texture I've been looking for..lol..not to dry not to cakey.

The icing wasn't too bad

But I think I will stick to my rum cake version of my yellow cake, add some lime flavoring/oil or extract and ice it with a minty rum swiss meringue buttercream and just call them...MY VERSION of Mojito cake..lol

here is a photo of the fiasco:

[stir it up]

what about a bit of a simple syrup to soak the cake with rum, lime juice (lime oil also if you want), mint (you could do fresh peppermint in a pestle & mortar or use other methods). just want to make sure it says "mojito"

Yep, that was going to be my option, I do a BUTTER RUM SIMPLE SYRUP for my rum cake, this time I will omit the butter and add some lime oil and the mint to give it that punch.

I was actually thinking of doing a chocolate mint cake ( which I have done and it's actually pretty darned good) and doing the lime rum syrup for a "chocolate mojito"

But then I'd have to fly down to Florida!

I tell ya, it's even better than a chocolate martini...


I've been thinking of doing a "martini" cupcake...it would actually have to be in 2 parts..lol

a mini vermoth flavored and a standard gin flavored one and a fondant olive on a plastic spear piercing them both?
