Mojito Bundtlets

I love my cupcake bundt pan.  It is so much fun to serve up these little individual bundt cakes.  These started with a lime flavored batter and when they cooled enough to remove from the pan, each got a dunk into a minty simple syrup and some minted sugar.  They were delightful.

I took these to a pot luck that I attended and they were a huge hit.  If you are a Mojito fan you are going to love these little baby bundts.
