Hey ladies! Look what I found for us!
Don't they just sound too scrumptious?
Think about a girls' night this summer with all your besties, the sun room, a pitcher of Mojitos, some noshes, and for dessert Mojito Cupcakes! Woot! Hubby can take the kids to the park or a movie.... :)
And we could all watch the latest adventures of whichever "Housewife's Of" is on the tube. Partay!
Okay, now that I have that out of my system.... I WILL be doing the above, but have not yet. Pictures are not mine. Gonna make some soon.

What do you girls think?

How to Make Mojito Cupcakes

Step-by-Step

Put all dry ingredients into a big bowl.
Melt the butter in microwave and add the beaten egg to it.
Add that to the dry ingredients, stirring in the milk and rum until smooth.
Zest the whole lime, add 1/2 the zest to the bowl.
Squeeze in 1/2 the lime as well.(Keep other half for icing)
Finely chop your fresh mint, and add that to the batter, mixing well.
Split the batter between 12 lined cupcake wrappers into cupcake pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the sides pull away and are golden brown. (tops shoul be spongy to the touch). When done, remove to a wire rack and wait until completely cool before you ice them.
MOJITO ICING:
MIX BUTTER AND POWDERED SUGAR TOGETHER IN A BOWL UNTIL SMOOTH
ADD THE RUM AND LIME
SPREAD ICING ON THE TOPS OF THE CUPCAKES AND ADD A SPRIG OF MINT TO EACH FOR GARNISH
