Boozy Baking

So this post is a little late for Cinco de Mayo - lo siento.  But it can really be used any time of year.  For example, most weeks we celebrate Taco Tuesday.  It's a very festive day of the week filled with guac, salsa, Coronas, margaritas and of course tacos.

But this Tuesday since it was just after Cinco de Mayo I decided to make these yummy Margarita Cupcakes.  I figured that margaritas are good and cupcakes are good so combine 'em and it must be great!  I was right.  There's tequila and lime in the batter and frosting and then more poured on top of the baked cakes.  Seriously might get you a lil bit of a buzz...

A while ago I did some more boozy baking and made Champagne Cupcakes.  I know, right?!  De-li-cious!  And they were.  Wow totally sounds like I'm tooting my own baking horn here but I actually have all of these other blogging bakers to thank.

First of all, pour yourself a glass of champagne because you have to open up the bottle to bake with but you don't need the whole bottle so lucky you there's a lil extra for sipping as you go.

You bake the cupcakes and then hollow out party of the center to add some champagne filling.  Yeah there's lots of the bubbly stuff in here.  Then you fill 'em and put the tops back on.

Put some frosting on and yes, you guessed it there's more champagne in the frosting!

Yummmy!
