Mojito Cupcakes

When the sun is shining there's nothing better than a nice cool cocktail. A Mojito has to be one of our favourites for sipping beneath the garden umbrella. Naturally we had to bake up these little lovelies to enjoy in the sun.

They absolutely taste like Mojitos, the sponge is light with a hint of lemon and lime zest and then a kick of fresh mint. Whilst the sponge is still warm we poured a syrup of sugar and rum over and then left to cool. Finally we piped a swirl of buttercream on to the top made with butter, icing sugar, lemon and lime zest and a shot of rum. A cocktail isn't a cocktail without a bit of sparkle so we mixed lime zest with sugar and edible glitter and sprinkled on the top of the cupcake and topped with a mint leaf...delicious!

These cupcakes are perfect for parties, they always get a good reaction when brought out on a nice
elegant cake stand. Unsurprisingly these don't last very long! Cake and alcohol, what could be better?
