Mini Fruitcake Cupcakes image

I do not have a picture to add of these little cupcakes, sorry. These are like little jewels! Everyone knows stories about horrible fruitcakes but I can assure you that everyone will love these. Made with Grand Marnier, fruit and nuts, these jewels are purely fantastic. Try them.
