Daiquiri daze

I was long overdue for some cupcakes from Tracy Cowee of TLCuppycakes in Petersburg, and yesterday was my day. For a group of friends, I ordered a dozen of her Cupcake In Paradise (margarita) and Strawberry Daiquiri cupcakes.

This is what was left after everyone attacked the strawberry daiquiri and Cupcake in Paradise treats from TLCuppycakes.

The Daiquiri was delicious, as are pretty much all of TL's cuppy -- er, cupcakes. The strawberry cake was incredibly moist and the strawberry frosting thick, smooth and creamy. There was some filling that seemed to be vanilla pastry cream. The only thing that gave me pause about this cupcake was my inability to detect the difference between this and a regular strawberry cupcake. The only difference between this and TL's Strawberry Fields (which I've never had but can look up on her website, http://www.tlcuppycakes.com/Flavor-Menu-and-Ordering.html) is that the Strawberry Daiquiri has strawberry cake instead of white cake, and the Fields has a strawberry cream filling instead of vanilla. I'm not sure if she put any daiquiri mix in the cupcake batter.

Either way, it's splitting hairs because this was a tremendous cupcake. And when it comes down to it, that's all that really matters.
