Mojito Cupcakes

Hello!


I'm very excited. This is my first ever blog post!

I thought id post a picture of myself so you could get an idea in your head of what i look like. I tried to find a picture that summed up my personality, obviously this isnt a current picture, but i think it epitomises me and also that is still to this day the coolest dress ive ever owned!

So today i was at uni all day, it was pretty dull so i wont bore you with the ins and outs of it all. although ill probably be posting some of my work at a later date...

As an avid baker im constantly on the look out for new and exciting recipies to try, next on my list is.....

4 eggs (aka your basic cupcake recipe)

zest of one lime juice of one lime

1 shot of rum

mix it up, then put it in cupcake wrappers in a tin. bake for 20 minutes at 350 while that's going on mix 3 tbsp rum, 2 tbsp lime, 2 tbsp brown sugar and a tsp mint together in a saucepan and simmer it for 5 minutes. when the cupcakes come out, poke a few holes in the top and then pour a tsp or so of the syrup into the holes.
