Instructions
For the Cake
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners.
In large mixing bowl, beat cake mix, vegetable oil, eggs and Bailey’s Irish Cream.
Fill each cupcake liner ⅔ full with batter. To create the shamrock, you will need 14 cupcakes.
You will have additional batter to make more cupcakes.
Bake according to package directions and let cool completely before frosting.
For the Frosting
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and vanilla until smooth.
Add in powder sugar one cup at a time.
Slowly add Bailey’s Irish Cream until desired consistency is reached.
Add 10 drops of green food coloring and blend until color is consistent throughout.
Assembling the Cupcake Cake
Arrange cupcakes according to photo on a large cake board.
Using a spatula, spread frosting over cupcakes, creating a large shamrock.
Tip: Dipping spatula in water prior to spreading the frosting may help.
Immediately dd sprinkles evenly over top before the frosting hardens.
Place remaining frosting in a ziplock bag. Cut a small corner off and pipe frosting around the edges.
Notes
You will need 14 cupcakes to make this recipe work.
To prevent the frosting from sticking, dip your spatula in water before frosting the cupcakes.
Add a dab of frosting to the bottom of your cupcakes to keep them in place while you frost them.
