Cosmopolitan Cupcakes for a 50th Bday Party

Here are another round of Cosmo Cupcakes done for a 50th Birthday Party. I was contacted through Facebook from a former student from when I worked at PSUMA - Cosmos are her mothers fave drink so we figured these cupcakes would be perfect. At the party, they were going to be set up in martini glasses for the guests.

Each cupcake was topped with a fondant lime slice and a sprinkling of sugar.


The cupcake is a lime flavored cake and the frosting is cream cheese based. To make the frosting taste like a Cosmo I mix in cranberry juice concentrate, lime juice, vodka, and a touch of Grand Marnier.
This time I brushed some of the liquid Cosmo mixture on the warm cupcakes to add some extra flavor and moisture!
