Happy Paddy's Day!
(I know, it was two days ago- but we were too busy celebrating for me to post!)
I made these cupcakes in celebration of the day, and I have to tell you that they turned out amazing. I think using Guinness in the cake allows the cakes to stay moist, and you really can't taste it (just in case you are not a fan). I highly suggest giving these a try next year, or for any old reason.
100% positive feedback from all that I gifted these to, and I think I will make them again next year.
We had a fantastic Paddy's day. Its not about green beer or leprechauns as the day has become in North America. We are lucky to celebrate with a fantastic group of Irish lads and lassies, and plenty of Guinness was consumed.

Lovely, chocolatey, Guinness cakes
A bit of Baileys in the icing...
And whiskey in the chocolate ganache

ReplyDeleteThose look so delicious! I love baking with alcohol, it give an extra little excitement to it. Also those little cupcake signs are so cute! Sounds like you had a great St. Patrick's Day.
ReplyDeleteYum! Those look absolutely delicious! I'll definitely have to try them next year.
