The Cupcakes and Cashmere Margarita Cupcakes come of a collaboration between author Emily Schuman and head of the Trophy Cupcakes website. Together the women made the delectable dessert in celebration of Cinco de Mayo and the many Mexican delicacies that come with the holiday.
In line with the Mexican motif is the lime flavor of the actual cupcakes, bringing about their slight green coloring. A tequila buttercream was then applied to the tops of the desserts, enabling the treats to take on the taste and structure of a standard margarita.
Schuman also lists several bakers tips in this post. Aside from learning how to make these snacks, readers can also take from her notes on ingredients, proper baking times and icing pointers.
