WoW!!! These are some sweeeet treats! Very good but really too sweet, next time I'm gonna cut down on the sugar a bit. I got this recipe from my BBFF, Christy. Check out her blog for more fab pictues adn the original recipe...here is mine with some tweaks made and comments on what I will do differently next time. I also made cute little tequilla worms and laminated them for each glass. I, of course, kept them so I will have them to use again! :) There is no tequilla in these, but maybe next time!?!
CUPCAKES:
One box white cake mix made according to package directions. Let cool and tear one up in bottom of margarita glass (mine didn't all match and I din't have enough for everyone and luckily I found some at the Dollar Store!)
FILLLING:
Beat (for 2 minutes) together 1 small pkg (4 oz) vanilla instant pudding with 1/2 c. whipping cream, 1/4 c. lime juice, 4 drops green food color, 1/2 c. powdered sugar. Let rest for 3 min, and then place in fridge.
Next time I will make the pudding first, add the whipped cream, lime juice, food coloring and 1/4 C sugar. The way this was it was more like frosting itself and I'd prefer more more of a pudding filling.
ICING:
Melt 5 oz of white chocolate and set aside.
Mix 1 stick of butter (room temperature), 3 1/2 c. powdered sugar, pinch of salt, 1/2 t. salt, 1/2 t. vanilla, 1 T. lime, and 1/4 c. sour cream. Add in chocolate just until combined.
Too sweet for me...next time I will start with 2 1/2 C powdered sugar and 1/2 C sour cream. I'll add more sugar to taste.
Garnish edges with green sugar made by adding a couple (3) drops of food coloring to 1 C of sugar. There was a ton of sugar left over so maybe don't use quite so much. the top with a lime slice.
My daughter helped me and we had lots of fun making these!!! :) Isn't she adorable!!! :) Love her, love her!
