Baileys chocolate cupcakes

They look sooooo good, and they taste even better. I love Baileys! The only time I buy it though is for Christmas and for St Patrick’s celebrations. It’s a flavour that I associate with those times and wouldn’t want to change that by using it more often. If you love Baileys like I do you will really want to try my Whipped Baileys and Chocolate Truffles.

I used the gold confetti sprinkles because I thought they would be perfect for St Patrick’s or for Christmas. If you had some gold cupcakes cases they would look great!



When making cupcakes I usually use my handheld mixer because it’s a smaller amount of batter and I find it much easier. I still use my main mixer for the buttercream though because it just makes it so much lighter and fluffier. I used a large closed star nozzle to pipe the swirls fitted into a disposable piping bag. I always use disposable piping bags as I hate to wash the reusable ones! You can see the bottles I always use for my ganache below, I fit them with a  very small round nozzle.
