Servings: persons

1 (18 1/4 ounce) box lemon cake mix
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box vanilla instant pudding mix
4 eggs
½ cup vegetable oil
⅔ cup water
¼ cup lime juice
¼ cup tequila
2 tablespoons triple sec or 2 tablespoons orange liqueur
½ cup confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon tequila
1 tablespoon triple sec or 1 tablespoon orange liqueur
1 tablespoon lime juice
12 gummy worms
green decorator sugar (optional)

1
Preheat oven to 350F; grease and flour a 9 x 13 inch cake pan.
2
CAKE: Beat together the cake and pudding mixes, eggs, oil, water, 1/4 cup lime juice, 1/4 cup tequila, and 2 tablespoons triple sec in a large bowl.
3
Pour cake batter into the pan and bake for 30-40 minutes or whatever your cake mix box recommends; or until the cake is set and tests done (a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean).
4
Cool cake for 10 minutes before pouring the glaze over top.
5
GLAZE: While the cake is baking, combine confectioners' sugar and one tablespoon each of tequila, triple sec, and lime juice in a small bowl.
6
Mix together until smooth.
7
Pour over warm cake as directed above in the cake instructions.
8
GARNISHING: While the glaze is still wet, sprinkle the cake with green decorating sugar (this is optional, but highly recommended since it really does dress up the cake- if you choose to top the cake with Cool Whip, powdered sugar, or another frosting, put the sugar on after you frost or dust it).
9
Serve each piece of cake topped with a gummi worm!
