Cupcake Ingredients
1 box White cake mix
1 cup bottled strawberry margarita/daiquiri mix (ie. Daily's margarita mix)
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup tequila (Can substitute with water for kid friendly cupcakes!)
4 egg whites
Frosting Ingredients
1/2 cup shortening
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 cups powdered sugar
3-4 tbsps strawberry margarita/daiquiri mix
Preheat oven to 350F. In a large bowl beat all cupcake ingredients on low speed for 30 seconds, then beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Pour batter into paper-lined muffin tins. Bake for 18-23 minutes. Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting. Makes about 21 cupcakes.
To make frosting beat butter and shortening on low speed in a large bowl. Then gradually add powdered sugar to mixture. Add the margarita mix one tbsp at a time until frosting is the desired consistency.
To frost cupcakes use a frosting bag and a 1M star tip. Pipe frosting onto cooled cupcakes. To decorate cupcakes use pink sugar and straws (cut to fit).
I hope you enjoy these cupcakes as much as we did!! And the left over strawberry mix and tequila make great margaritas! ;)
