cut them in half horizontally, spread w/ jam of your choice, drizzle with favorite liqueur, replace
tops, sprinkle crushed sugar cubes & dust w/ powdered sugar.

Edits: Drizzle cut surfaces BEFORE spreading with jam.

Cut a cone-shaped plug out and fill with lemon curd. Put a thin knife in the middle of the top
about 1" deep, tilt the knife, then rotate it a full circle, keeping the knife-tip centered. A little cone-shaped plug can be pulled out and you can fill it with whatever.)
Plus, as cook, you can eat all the plugs if you want.

I ran across this recipe for Pina Colada Muffins that interests me. I don't
have rum extract but maybe sub some of the liquid in the cake with Rum? And add lime zest? And then maybe just a light glaze after baked of lime juice, powdered sugar and lime zest? I think I like the idea of this. Any other ideas?
Pina Colada Muffins
1 (18.25 ounce) box yellow or butter cake mix
1 teaspoon coconut extract
1 teaspoon rum extract
1 cup flaked coconut
1/2 to 1 cup nuts, chopped
1 (8 ounce) can undrained crushed pineapple
Prepare cake mix following package instructions. Add other ingredients. Mix 1 minute - don't over-mix. Grease muffin tins and fill 3/4 full. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes.

OK, I made them this morning and they're good. I'm such a poor judge
on sweets though. My bug man just came so I made him try one and he liked it and I'm waiting for the real tester to come home from work later. I don't taste the rum but I'm not sure you're supposed to. Bug man said he tasted a hint of rum after. What ever...I know the guys at work will inhale them. The box mix called for 1 cup water so I replaced 1/3 cup with rum. And I added a good 1 1/2 limes of zest into the batter. I mixed 1 cup powdered sugar, 2 T. lime juice and the other 1/2 lime for zest and glazed them after they were baked. The lime really jumped out. I loved that. All in all I'm happy. I just might be rethinking box mixes. I bought 2 boxes when they were buy one/get one when we had friends come visit over the holidays and just made a cake with the one box.
