His mommy said he was so proud of it that you would've thought that he had painted it himself! That's what I love about painting!
So in keeping with the fun things for this Friday I've got a great recipe for a fabulous GNO (Girls Night Out)!!
Cosmopolitan Cupcakes with Pink Lime Buttercream Icing!
Cupcakes
• 1 box SuperMoist Vanilla Cake Mix
• 3 egg whites
• 1/3 cup oil
• 1-1/4 cups ready-made Cosmo drink mixer
Make cupcakes according to box directions, swapping out 1-1/4 cups Cosmopolitan drink mix for the 1-1/4 cups water called for on the box.
Pink Lime Buttercream Icing
• 8 Tbsp butter, softened
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 2 Tbsp lime juice
• 2 Tbsp Cosmo drink mixer
• 1 tsp lime zest
• 5-1/2 cups powdered sugar
• Red or pink gel icing colors (a little red gel will make hot pink)
• Clear sugar sprinkles
In a large bowl: combine butter, cream cheese, lime juice, Cosmo mix, and lime zest. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar, one cup at a time, and continue beating until smooth. If icing is too thin, add more powdered sugar, a couple tablespoons at a time. Tint icing with food coloring. (Gel icing colors enable you to tint icing without watering it down.)
Spread or pipe icing onto each (completely cooled) cupcake. Garnish with sprinkles, a lime twist, or a lime wedge.
Happy Friday!!
