Lipsmack
























Once again, Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero come through. These margarita cupcakes gave me grief early on, mostly because they simply refused to bake. I must've added 30 percent to the prescribed baketime. Then, the frosting. Oh, the frosting. After sifting in an add'l, oh, CUP of confectioner's sugar, the goo was still too gooey. No stability, man. It did eventually thicken up, but not enough to preclude freezing, for several minutes, the cc's immediately post-frosting to avoid any unsightly drips. The sprinkles helped w/ that, too.

Whatever works, y'know? And believe you me, it work(s)/ed. The cake part, in addition to being baked-through, is soft and light. The frosting, okay, it is pretty sweet (take that, 'betes! that'll teach ya'll to mess w/ my panc) and the limeyness is of the face-scrunching variety, but these don't have to be bad things, right?
