  1. Love the flavor of these strawberry cupcakes and they couldn't have been easier to make. That being said, I somehow managed to forget to add the eggs and didn't realize it until the batter was already in the paper liners so in the oven they went. Have you ever wondered what would happen if you forgot the eggs in the batter? Don't try it, let's just say that they were extremely tender. The no egg was my fault so I'm still going to give these 5* because they were still good! Made for ZWT 5 by an Epicurean Queen!
     
  2. These were absolutely delicious!!! All I had was coconut rum, so I used that instead of light rum. I also couldn't find any strawberry Cool Whip, so I used strawberry frosting. Made for ZWT5: Caribbean.
     
  3. What a great idea for the girl's next get together! I had to do some modifications to the amounts etc, since our cake mix comes in 340g and no strawberry flavour. So I added some strawberry essence and pink flavouring. I loved the fresh flavour of the lime and the sneaky bacardi in there! The icing I made also had a little bacardi in it to match. Thanks!
