In my second year at Uni I was lucky enough to land a student brand ambassador role with Bacardi; I ran events and marketing campaigns in and around campus aimed at students to advertise Bacardi as a brand and in particular, the Bacardi Mojito. Alas, amongst other things, part of the job was learning to make the perfect mojito and so naturally, I had to drink a few - what a pity.
This weekend my school friends had a bit of a reunion as three have just come back from travelling, two of us have recently graduated - the gang is back together again. We all had to bring something, so naturally, I brought baked goodies, but as the first thing I've made for my home friends I wanted to do something special. So what better than the original party drink a mojito in cupcake form to give them a taste in my own special way of what I've been doing at Uni!
And so my Mojito Cupcakes came about.
I actually started off making a friend's mum's recipe, however I wasn't happy with how they turned out and so decided to go back and make up my own recipe using my usual cupcake recipe and knowledge of the perfect mojito recipe. I was really pleased with the outcome and they seemed to go down pretty well - there's only 5 out of 30 left!
I used lime and mint in the actual cupcakes and added rum to the icing and buttercream frosting.
