I was short on time, so I used a store-bought pound cake mix instead of making my own. The cupcakes still turned out great.

I didn't have any candied citrus peel on hand, so I used chopped dried cranberries instead. They worked great!

I've never been a fan of fruitcake, but these miniature cupcakes changed my mind! They were so delicious and festive. I especially loved the candied citrus peel and the hint of rum.
