St. Patrick’s Day | Sensual Appeal

Wow. Oh my god. I’m going to sound cocky or conceited right now and I don’t care but this is only the second time ever making cupcakes and these babies came out simply PERFECT. Like, I was shocked. Also, I’m on a total sugar high combined with utter excitement and I am pretty much shaking as I’m typing this. This is a pretty exciting day for me. It’s beautiful outside and it’s the last day I’m at my parents’ house. It’s time to go back to the city tomorrow and that means less baking time cause Spring Break is pretty much over. St. Patrick’s Day is on Saturday already and I’ve gotta work at 10am at a bar, so I doubt I’m gonna be making anything fun other than drinking and taking pictures haha. Gotta love St. Paddy’s Day! Speaking of, these cupcakes are perfect for this day. Not only are they made with Bailey’s Irish Cream in the filling AND frosting, the cake is made with stout beer. After yesterday’s frosting failure I was determined to make this one work. It sure did. Happy early St. Patrick’s Day, loves!

I’m making two posts in one day, that’s what’s up! This is how you know I’m excited to be a new blogger. Anyways, we bought a big bottle of Bailey’s yesterday at Costco because I knew I wanted to bake some things with it while I was still in the suburbs at my parents’. I found a lovely recipe for Bailey’s Irish Cream Cupcakes on Sweet Tooth‘s blog . They looked just glorious on there. Let me begin by saying this is the first time I’m baking cupcakes. Haha, yes I am a total noob! I’ve made muffins before though, so that’s kind of close. Anyways, like I said, I’m willing to learn and I’m excited to be learning! Kammie is becoming domesticated. Ha, kinda. Not really. I did enjoy baking quite a bit though. I messed up on the frosting and it did not end up the way it should, I think, mainly because I ran out of powdered sugar and I didn’t have that cool frosting bag you use, so I just used a ziplock bag with a hole in a corner. Might have not came up looking exactly the most beautiful but did they taste GOOD! My dad ate 6 (not like that’s a big achievement for him or anything) and afterwards he came to my room and congratulated me on a job well done. Haha, so yeah, they are pretty delicious! Props to Sweet Tooth for the recipe, for sure.
