Irish Cream Coffee Cupcakes

Posted on by

When two Food Bloggers get together for the weekend, one can only imagine how much cooking would be happening.  In the case of Ashley at Kitchen Meets Girl and myself we cooked and baked quite a bit!! We even made a really yummy cocktail that took much less than stellar photos….. Just means I will have to make it a second time.  We learn from our mistakes do we not?  One item that was not a mistake were these super yummy cupcakes!  We wanted to get a head start on our St. Patrick’s Day festivities!  It is a big To Do here in Kansas City, starting with Snake Saturday and ending with a Pub Crawl on the Big Day! So with just a couple of weeks to get some great recipe’s in and get ready for the big party we spent a small part of our Saturday baking up these little goodies!

While we were at the store getting our booze supplies for the weekend we saw this Iced Coffee Flavored Milk.  Well we said we just had to have this and then it became a major ingredient in the frosting for the cupcakes!

 

I couldn’t believe how quick and easy it was to make these.  It is always nice to have a second set of hands helping.  Ashley is my partner in crime in food blogging world and she set me up with some great new features!  Check out the side bar……

So Here are our Irish Cream Coffee Cupcakes! You can also see this post at Mrs. Fox Sweets

  2. What could be used as a substitute for the Iced Coffee Milk. We are often limited on specialty grocery items here in Anchorags, Alaska and I have never seen this product.
    Thanks!!

    • You could put a shot of coffee in 8 ox of regular 2% or whole milk, or you could just use more Bailey’s!!! Thanks for visiting my post! Hope to see you here often!

  4. Hello! I have made these twice in 3 days! I am posting about them on Friday of this week (linking you OF COURSE) I just wanted you to know :)
    I made a ‘kid friendly’ batch without the Baileys in the icing and a batch with a bit extra for the ‘big kids’. What a hit!!
    I made a few adjustments here and there but your recipe is a great one! I am replacing my old Bailey’s Cake recipe with this one :)

  13. I do like my Bailey’s so I am sure I would really enjoy these cupcakes. The coffee milk I have never seen, only creamer, but I will be on the lookout-yum! I am glad you enjoyed the get together-wish there was another food blogger that lived near here. Have a grea day!
