Margarita Cupcakes Part 2 - Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes with Strawberry Tequila Frosting

The second type of Margarita Cupcakes I made for Cinco de Mayo were Strawberry Margarita Cupcakes. I thought it would be fun to have more than one flavor of cupcakes to bring to the party.

Cupcake Ingredients:

* Cut the tops off of the strawberries and cut into pieces. Place into a food processor to make into Puree. Set Aside.

In a bowl, mix together the Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt. Set aside.

* In the bowl of your mixer beat Butter and Sugar.
