These cupcakes are fantastic – really great flavour! I agree with lavenderlover, though, that there isn’t enough liquid in the recipe. The cupcakes are still moist, but very dense, almost like a loaf. Next time I would add some milk to the recipe, as there is enough Irish cream flavour already.
The frosting is wonderful! So easy to make, tasty, and I found that one batch of frosting was more than enough – I using a piping bag and Wilton 1M Star tip for cupcakes.
A little more liquid in the batter, and these are perfect!

A word of caution: if you follow the directions, there isn’t enough liquid in the ingredients list. My batter was extremely stiff! In researching other recipes AFTER making these, I discovered the ratio of flour-to-liquid needs to be approx 2:1. Therefore, this recipe needs to have AT LEAST another 1/2 – 3/4 cup liquid (water, milk, more Irish cream, etc.) That being said, these cupcakes did have a lovely aroma and tasted delicious. But the texture needs improvement; more liquid would solve that.

I made these for my brothers birthday and they were a big hit! The frosting was my favorite part

Just made these today (with cheapo Irish Cream, didn’t realize how expensive Baileys is!) and OMGFABULOUS. The buttercream alone is amazing, and the smell of the cupcakes is fantastic.
Do watch the cupcakes closely, though, mine got just the tiniest bit crisp on top. And use good vanilla. It’s the right thing to do.

I love the cuteness of the cupcakes! Could you share where you purchased the liners/cups at?
