Ingredients
1 Strawberry Cake Mix2 TBSP Light Rum1 tsp Lime Juice1 tsp Lime Zest3/4 c. Egg Beaters1/3 c. Unsweetened Applesauceapproximately 1 c. Water6 TBSP Unsalted Butter, softened3 1/2 c. powdered sugar1 tsp Imitation Rum Extract1 drop red food coloring1-2 TBSP fat-free Half and Half24 small Fresh Strawberries, whole with greens
Preheat oven to 350F and place cupcake liners into pans. Combine Rum and Lime Juice in a measuring cup then add water to equal amount needed for the cake mix. Beat Cake Mix, Water mixture, Lime Zest, Egg Beaters and Applesauce on low for 30 seconds then on medium for 2 minutes, scraping sides of bowl occasionally. Divide batter evenly between 24 muffin cups and bake about 15-18 minutes, just until toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 2-3 minutes in pan, then remove cupcakes to a cooling rack.
Prepare Icing - place softened butter in a large mixing bowl and beat on low until smooth and creamy. Add Powdered Sugar 1 cup at a time, beating until smooth between each addition. Add the Rum Extract and Red Food Coloring and beat until completely incorporated. Add the Half and Half, as needed, after the powdered sugar is completely added if the consistency is too thick.
After cupcakes are completely cooled, frost the tops of cupcakes. (I piped it on using a star-shaped tip and covered the top of each with a series of small stars that somewhat overlapped)
Slice strawberries about 4 times about 1/8" apart from the tip until almost to the green then fan the strawberry abit and place one atop of each frosted cupcake. To really make it like a cocktail, place a cut-off straw into each cupcake to give the appearance of a drink.
