Margarita Cupcakes Gluten Free

I like celebrating anytime,  and in honor of Cinco de Mayo, I thought a Margarita would do the trick; not just a Margarita drink but a cupcake!!

You will not believe how good this cupcake is.  The best way to tell how good one of my gluten free recipes is?  Have my dad, of the major sweet tooth, try it. If he asks if the sweet is legal, that is gluten free, I KNOW the taste is spectacular.

Ya’ll these cupcakes are just the right blend of tartness, moistness and the icing is the perfect topping, no pun intended.  These cupcakes treated my tastebuds to a fabulous Cinco de Mayo.

I can hardly wait for another holiday to whip these babies up.  We’ll make these on St Patrick’s Day, Father’s Day, Memorial Day….the holidays are endless.

Enjoy these delicious Margarita Cupcakes for any special event.
