When I had my "Spicy Mexican Valentine Luncheon" I knew that
I needed to come up with desserts (yes..there is an S on desserts!! ;)
that went with the theme.
who doesn't LOVE a cupcake?
Last year I made this decadent Chocolate Bliss Cake that had raspberry sauce, devonshire cream and I even made these homemade chocolate discs and chocolate dipped strawberries.
I went ALL OUT.
Not that I love my friends any less this year, but I needed to figure out something a little less labor intensive!!
one for me and one for you
So I made two different kinds of cupcakes, and Mexican brownies.
Gotta have CHOCOLATE!!
The two cupcakes that I made were pina colada cupcakes and strawberry daiquiri cupcakes.
I packaged up 6 of each and took them to my husband's office, called them
"Thirsty Thursday Cupcakes"
Here is the quick and easy recipe for the strawberry daiquiri ones!!
"Thirsty Thursday Cupcakes"
Here is the quick and easy recipe for the strawberry daiquiri ones!!
Strawberry Daiquiri Cupcakes
1 Strawberry Cake Mix
1 pouch of Parrot Bay pre-mixed Strawberry Daiquiri Drink
Make your cake mix as directed on the box, only substitute the drink mix for the water.
Bake as directed.
For the frosting I used my buttercream recipe and changed the milk to daiquiri mix:
Buttercream:
4 cups powdered sugar
1 stick of butter
1/4 strawberry daiquiri mix
Beat until fluffy!!
Beat until fluffy!!
Rim the frosted cupcakes in sugar and top with half of a strawberry!!
Cheers!!
