I've decided to have 3 different flavors of cupcake at the upcoming bachelorette party, so last night my sister and I dove headlong into creating a unique cupcake. The Cosmopolitan Cupcake. Yes, you heard me right. Cosmo Cupcakes.
I got the original recipe here: Cosmo Cupcake
While working through the recipe I noticed a few things.
1. The recipe calls for Butter Milk but never actually tells you to use it. My cakes turned out perfect without it so it's unnecessary.
2. The "Cosmo Glaze" was annoying and I ditched it. Still cakes were great.
3. I did NOT like the Cosmo Buttercream. The more Cosmopolitan I added the more I hated it, so I took my lime they had me zest, poked a hole in it and squeezed what juice I could into the mix, however because the lime juice is apparently wetter (I have no clue WHY!) I had to add 2 extra cups of powdered sugar to thicken it back up, I placed the icing in the fridge for at least 2 hours so that it would remain thick for frosting the cakes.
These were actually pretty good, and the icing was divine! (After I ditched the Cosmo). I added a pink sugar sprinkles to mimic rimming the glass and it was perfect. I will definitely get a picture for you guys today. My camera batteries were deader than a doornail.
Anyway, If you see a recipe you like then go for it, but just keep in mind that sometimes if its not to you liking you CAN change it, the world won't end if you don't follow the recipe exactly (Unless you are doing Fudge, trust me Fudge does NOT want to work if you divvy from the actual recipe).
