St. Patty's Day Irish Cream Cupcakes

I made these awesome cupcakes for a St. Patty's Day party a few years back.  They were a big hit, so I thought I would share.

Cupcakes

You can use you favorite vanilla or chocolate box cake mix.  Follow instructions on the box, and substitute water for Bailey's Irish Cream.

Bailey's Butter Cream

2 sticks of butter room temperature

3 Cups confectionery sugar

2 tbs of Bailey's Irish Cream

Chocolate Butter Cream

2 sticks of butter room temperature

3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 1/2 cups of confectionery sugar

Cream butter on medium speeds gradually add Bailey's, sugar and/or cocoa powder to the mix.  Less sugar can be added to taste and for desired consistency.  For a stiffer frosting add more sugar. If chocolate frosting is too stiff you can add 1-2 tbs of milk.

Assembly: First pipe a circle of chocolate butter cream. Top with a smaller circle of Bailey's Butter Cream.  Add a decorative green shot glass (found in you locate party store, dollar store or online).  Fill shot glass with Bailey's Irish Cream...or chocolate mike for the little ones!
