Irish Coffee Cupcakes!
These were made by me and an Irish friend who wanted to make a cupcake that had both whisky and coffee in them. I actually don’t like coffee at all and whisky I can tolerate to a small extent so I wasn’t super excited about this, but I wanted to try it out anyway! We actually used this recipe from Martha Stewart’s website and I guess that if it is good enough for her then I would be willing to try it!
The cakes actually turned out to be very tasty and I would
recommend this recipe for anyone that wanted to try out a coffee cake! We did fill
the cases too high so the cakes ended up spilling out a little but apart from
that they were a success.
The only problem I had was piping the icing on. For some
reason piping bags and me just don’t get along whatsoever and my piping always
looks shocking! Obviously the only solution will be to keep making more icing
and then practise piping =D But if people do have tips on maybe what
consistency is best for piping or how they make nice icing on their cupcakes
then that would be fabulous! As you can see from above, there were some half
decent ones and then I just gave up and slathered on the rest of the icing =P

They look way yummy! Plus, any cake that contains alcohol is a win in my book.
Aw thank you :) yes alcohol does make things a lot more fun haha! I think I will have to make a margarita cake at some point as I much prefer tequila! Btw I could totally do chocolate brownies :D
yum! I also highly recommend chocolate lava cakes with some coffee brandy/rum in them. DELICIOUS, especially with ice cream.
Oh I will be making these! They look lovely!
Ohhh I hope that you enjoy them! Thank you :)
