I've made these a couple times already, very delicious!! I just wonder if anyone has had the issue with the paper liners pulling away from the cupcake after baking? Happened both times now, and I've never had it happen with any other cupcake.

Love margarita cupcakes. I use tequila instead of oil when I made it though. I rolled the edges of the cupcakes in raw sugar instead of colored sugar. I made cookies shaped like half of a lime to sit on the edge of the cupcake instead of the topper shown above. They were a huge hit at the cookout.

These were delicious! I used the margarita cupcake recipe and lime buttercream. I attempted to rim the cupcakes with green sugar but ran into some difficulty with that and ended up piping swirls instead. I think sparkling piping gel around the rim would have been easier and may have had the same effect. I made pina colada cupcakes to pair with these margarita cupcakes and both were a hit at the bridal shower.
