For Cinco De Mayo I made these cupcakes for work: they were a hit!
Frosting bag (not mandatory)
Zester
Lemoncello Liquor
3 C. sifted Powered Sugar
1/2 C. cream cheese (whipped is best- or room temp.)
Green Food Coloring
Cupcake Pan
Cupcake liner cups
Directions:
Place powered sugar in mixer (or mixing bowl). Make 1 teaspoon of lemon zest and 1 teaspoon of lime zest. Add 5-6 tablespoons of lime juice. Mix in 1 teaspoon of Lemoncello Liquor and 1 drop of green food coloring..if you put too much it will look "christmas green". If frosting is too runny you can add some canned vanilla frosting. Mix cake mix following directions on the box. Bake and then cool. Using spoon or spatula place in frosting bag (or use ziplock bag and cut the corner). Decorate cupcakes using whatever frosting tip you prefer. Finally thinly slice the last lime into wheels and cut through half way so you can twist them as seen in the picture. Enjoy!
