Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes

This was adapted from a similar recipe but I made a few changes to the cake and ganache and used a different frosting. These things are rich beyond reason and totally delicious.

The Guinness in the cake makes the chocolate taste bolder. The centers are spooned out after baking and filled with chocolate ganache with that has Bailey's in it. The icing is vanilla buttercream that also has Bailey's in it.

To pipe color swirls, I use paste food coloring (Wilton) and paint strips of it the length of the inside of a decorator bag, either one or a couple different colors (here I just used green). When you fill the bag with frosting it comes out swirled. I use the giant coupler and star tip. On the top of each I piped a little extra ganache and dusted them all with edible gold dust.
