Irish Cream Cupcakes! Yes, you read that right….This is not a drill. What better way to celebrate St Patrick’s day with a good ole St Patrick’s Day cupcake recipe with a twist. What’s more Irish than Irish cream? (Ok, maybe a pint of Guiness, but that’s a recipe for another day) The best part about this recipe is that you can make them family friendly and use Irish Cream flavored coffee creamer in this recipe, or you can live on the wild side and use some Bailey’s Irish Cream! Trust me, both ways are divine.
First, a little tale. One thing you guys don’t always see when I do these food photos is what really goes on behind the scenes. As soon as I thought about this recipe, I knew I wanted to learn how to swirl cupcake icing colors. There were some really cool videos about how to do it with four or five colors to do pretty flower cupcakes. All I wanted for this St Patrick’s Day cupcake recipe was two colors. How hard could it be right? Ha! Let’s just say it’s two days later, and I am still finding frosting in my office, and there may or may not still be green food coloring on my arm. It was fun though. My eldest definitely enjoyed being photography assistant that day. She got to eat all of the leftover icing that didn’t make it onto the cupcakes.
