About
Lovely day for a Guinness, wouldn't you say?
Of all the boozy cupcakes I’ve made, these are probably the most alcoholic. I mean, they are inspired by Irish Car Bombs. Last year I made these bad boys for St. Patrick's Day and people loved them. From the Guinness infused chocolate cake, and Jameson Whiskey ganache filling, to the creamy Bailey’s frosting, these tasty little suckers are sure to pack a punch. But no need to limit the fun to just one holiday!
