Hints and Tips

  • The syrup is best absorbed when the syrup and cake are different temperatures.
  • If you can’t source the green ant gin, you can use another variety and increase the lime zest.
  • The cupcakes will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge but are best served slightly warm, or at room temperature.
