Ingredients
  

Cupcakes

  • 1 box White Cake Mix
  • 1 box instant Vanilla pudding mix
  • 1 cup Bailey’s Irish cream
  • 1/3 cup either half and half or buttermilk
  • 4 eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter

Bailey's Buttercream Icing

  • 1/2 cup butter 1 stick, at room temperature
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 4 Tablespoons Bailey’s Irish Cream
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2-4 T 1/2 n 1/2 or milk until icing is the right spreading consistency

Instructions
 

Cupcakes

  • Mix dry ingredients together. Beat eggs and add other wet ingredients and combine with dry. Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until thoroughly combined batter will be thick.
  • Scoop into paper lined cupcake or mini muffin pans. Bake according to Cake mix directions, and check before time is up, 2-5 minutes, testing for doneness with a toothpick. Do not overbake or they will be dry. Makes about 5 dozen mini cupcakes. Ice with Baileys buttercream icing.

Bailey's Buttercream

  • Cream butter and sugar, add Baileys and vanilla. Add milk as needed for proper spreading or piping consistency.
  • This ices about 3 dozen mini cupcakes, double the recipe if desired.

Notes

This makes about 60 mini cupcakes and enough buttercream for 36, so double icing recipe as needed
