Baileys Icing

Okay, I am still obsessed with Baileys. I finished my last bottle (with my last drink being in a hot chocolate!), but I really wanted to make something to do with Baileys and cupcakes! So I set out to make Mocha cupcakes with Baileys icing. I tried the cupcake recipe from this little book I had bought. DON'T MAKE IT. It was terrible. They are thick, and dry, and tasteless. (I don't have the book on me currently, so I can't tell you what the book was called...Helpful, I know.) The only good thing was the icing. Sooo yummy.

 

Baileys Cupcake Icing

• 1 cup butter
• 3 cups icing sugar
• 4 tbsp Bailey's Irish Cream
• 2 tspn vanilla extract

1. Sift the icing sugar into a bowl. Add into the butter, Baileys and vanilla extract. Beat until mixed, and pipe onto your cupcakes. Will lightly ice 12 cupcakes. 

 

 

 

I got the recipe here (Okay, it cracks me up how it says "real" butter. Someone please tell me what not real butter is??)
