Get Your Drink On: Vodka Mudslide Cupcakes

Since the Mighty Mighty Market is set in a bar, I decided to theme all my cupcake flavors for next month's market around drinks I love.

I couldn't think of a way to make a tequila, lime and salt cupcake taste good (testing is underway, rest assured) so I went with vodka mudslides; the ultimate bitch drink. These were what I used to buy all the time when I first got my fake ID(I love you, Alyse) and didn't have to rely on rocketfuel any more. All class, all the time. That's Frances.

Was going for a soft serve ice cream swirl effect with the icing; may have accidentally achieved the sparkly unicorn poop effect instead. 
All the vodka is in the icing- and don't be fooled by the tiny airplane bottle in the picture; there is A LOT of vodka in there. I kept adding more because I couldn't taste it through the buttercream; but then I waited a few seconds and got the aftertaste- it is INTENSE. As they say in Russia; there cannot be too much vodka, there can only be not enough vodka (it sounds much more profound if you say it in a Russian accent like I do in my head).

The market is May 5th, so get ready to get your drink on! xoxo

p.s. Kitten news- Buttercup and Farmboy got adopted today- together! The family that took them home sound really nice, and we're really happy they got to go together. A little bit sad that now there is no chance Annie will go with Buttercup, because they were bff, but hopefully she'll go home with one of her siblings. Loneliness is kryptonite to kittens.
