    I m a huge fan of Baileys, it is one of the few alcohol things I will drink. I use it in coffee when I have a cold and it works (try it) Hubby likes Baileys too. The cupcakes sound delicious, I would try them!

    Hello,
    Theses cupcakes look awesome! Just what I was looking for to bring to a St. Paddy’s Day party.
    Question: how many cupcakes does this recipe make?
    Thanks so much:)

        I baked mini-cupcakes and it made about 75. There was only enough frosting to frost about half of them, generously but not as extreme as in the photos. I sprinkled them with mini chocolate chips. They were delish.

          That is a super good question! In the cupcakes, it cooks out. The frosting isn’t cooked, so frosting I would not serve to kids. You could make these with a different frosting for kids, though, if you wanted to make an adult and a kid batch.

    I baked these for St. Patrick’s Day and they turned out absolutely perfect! I live at 6800 feet so my cupcakes always want to sink in once I pull them out of the oven so I was thrilled that I nailed the altitude adjustments on my first try. I subtracted 3 tablespoons of sugar, and used 1 teaspoon of bakibg powder and 3/4 teaspoon of baking soda. I also used melted butter in place of the oil.
