Party Panache, Bailey’s Cupcakes
These delightful little cakes are a sure hit any time of year,
but they are especially perfect for St. Patrick’s Day !
The batter and icing are both flavored with Baileys Irish Cream
The batter smells so wonderful as the aroma
from this cream liqueur drifts around the kitchen
Silicone pans make baking cupcakes so easy
When you bake a cupcake in a paper the paper gets greasy
When you bake in the silicone pan, the cakes just pop right out
and then you can put them in a decorative paper
These cupcake papers were packaged with 2 different prints
If you turn some inside out you can make a pretty lining for your cake paper
They look so cute under a mini dome ☘️

Tuck some into a gift box
Tied up with a ribbon for a gift or a party,
the recipient will feel lucky indeed!
These are easy peasy to make,
the recipe is a store bought cake mix
with a couple little additions to make it extra tasty!

Brilliant Jenna! I love the silicone and cupcake papers trick – definitely trying it next time! Thanks for the great recipe!
Thank you Barbara ☘️
Jenna, Turning the cupcake liners inside out is one of my favorite tricks. We’re still enjoying our homemade Irish Cream and I know these cupcakes would be especially delicious made with it. ♥
Thanks Mary, Irish Creme is so tasty! ☘️
Jenna, oh how I wish I had one of these delicious cupcakes right now. They not only sound yummy, but look pretty, too! Thanks for the baking tip about using a silicone pan then placing the baked cakes in liners. I can’t wait to try that. Happy Monday!
Thanks Shannon, I just got a silicone bundt pan, Heaven!!
These little ☘️ Cupcakes look divine, Jenna! I’m thinking a may need one of those silicone cupcake pans. You are so right; the liners do get all greasy and discolored. It’s always a joy to visit you. 💚☘️💚
Oh Kitty, you’ve got to get one, they are fabulous for so many things and makes baking so easy…I just bought a silicone bundt pan and it’s a dream!
Jenna, the cupcakes sound divine! I’m a few days behind in my blog reads as I have been busy doing some yard spring clean up and tending to my doggie who has a hot spot on his back leg. 😣 Today is catch up day for some reading as we have high winds and praying you are safe as well, (heard about a bad tornado that hit your state.) I’ve pinned this recipe and your baby carrot cake recipe too! Both sound scumptous! Stay safe! 🛐
