- While the cupcakes are baking, it is time to make the icing!
- Mix the cream cheese and butter till well combined.
- Then mix in the vanilla and slowly add the powdered sugar.
- Next add some of the jello mix. Add little spoonfuls at a time then taste and see if you need to add more flavoring.
- Once the cupcakes are out of the oven and cool begin to frost the cupcakes.
- After all the cupcakes are frosted sprinkle some of the sugar crystal sprinkles to look like the salt around the rim of the Margarita.
- If you do not like sprinkles, add some lime zest on the tops of the cupcakes instead.
