Lime & Mint Mojito Cupcakes

This season, what could be better than a nice outdoor picnic to celebrate a birthday? We set up a small white tablecloth, we arrange wooden cutlery (so green!), small polka dot napkins, colored plastic glasses, pretty matching straws... But the most important thing is missing, you might say, the birthday cake? Here it takes the form of delicious lime & mint mojito cupcakes.

These mojito cupcakes are very fragrant and very light, perfect to enjoy in summer.

An individual birthday cake is easier to transport and, above all, you don't have to bother cutting it (that saves time when tasting it, doesn't it...).
