For tonight’s Cupcake Mission I bring you “Why is the rum gone?!”. I made Rum Cupcakes with Buttercream frosting and a Rum glaze. I used the following recipe, though I added a tsp of Vanilla extract into the batter:  http://the-cupcakery-blog.blogspot.com/2009/03/week-25-ahoy-metes-rum-cupcakes-with.html , I used this buttercream recipe: http://nelliecakes.com/post/789584566/buttercream-recipe (Sorry, the link is broken! But it’s your general Buttercream frosting recipe). These cupcakes are SO AMAZING. I haven’t gotten up the courage to make my own batter quite yet but maybe after I blow through the mixes I have…

These taste really good with a nice glass of rum and coke :] My boyfriend LOVES rum, so that’s what inspired me to make some cupcakes to accompany his favorite drink! I don’t know what possessed me to make the frosting green but…I did it. So, there. Anyways, try this recipe out. It’s delicious!
