An easy take on those delicious MarquisRita cupcakes we featured earlier this week. Add some booze and fruit to your cupcakes for some delicious and surprisingly refreshing strawberry margarita cupcakes. We used the same recipe as the MarquisRita cupcakes, and all we added were some chopped strawberries to the batter. As we experimented with the tequila in the batter, we noticed it didn’t really mix into the batter, so as…
MarquisRita aka Margarita Cupcakes
June 12, 2013I could have a margarita (in my case a MarquisRita) any day of the week. So yummy. I took that love for MarquisRitas and turned it into a cupcake; MarquisRita aka Margarita Cupcakes! They came out better than expected. The recipe is a simple “1-2-3-4” basic cupcake/cake mix with an addition of tequila and lime. The batter makes a lot of cupcakes, I got about 3 dozen cupcakes. I’d probably cut…
St. Germain Cupcakes
June 4, 2013Ummm, YUM! I first had St. Germain when my friend Stephanie (check out Pop! Goes My Culture) got me out of the kitchen and onto Governor’s Island in NYC for the Jazz Age Lawn Party.

I’m naming these “Omelette Cupcakes” because they are whipped eggs in a cupcake pan. THE PERFECT side to serve with brunch.

Fatima and I trolled along the upper east side of Manhattan and stopped at some of our favorite cupcake shops to try some favorites and new ones. Last year, I stopped by Buttercup Bake Shop on 2nd Ave (between 51st &…
St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner! Having a bowl of Lucky Charms in the morning, brought me back to childhood. I forget how good they can be. Is it just me, or have the grain pieces grown on me? I don’t pick them out anymore. Who doesn’t love a good bowl of Lucky Charms once in a while? How about on your cupcakes? Here’s a quick an easy…
