IRISH CREAM Cupcakes with IRISH CREAM FROSTING
March 16th, 2012 | Posted by in Uncategorized - (0 Comments)Top O’ The Mornin’ To Ya ! …. these are just one of the 2 creations I whipped up in honor of St. Patty’s Day :). Found the original recipe for the cupcakes on cooks.com. The coconut frosting was just something I came up with on my own. I never imagined the combination of pistachios and coconut and I must say they go very well together. Their flavors compliment each other. Let me know what you guys think. Happy St. Patricks Day!
