Happy Hour!

My cousin Brieanna's 21st birthday was last week, so in her honor, I wanted to make some boozy cupcakes. I've made margarita cupcakes before, but I wanted to go more chocolatey, so I chose a mudslide as my inspiration. A mudslide is traditionally made with Kahlua, Vodka and Bailey's Irish Creme, but I used "Failey's" (fake/not brand name Bailey's) because (take note, Brie) alcohol is expensive!

The frosting recipe is from Homemade by Holman, and the cupcake recipe is my tried and true Darn Good Chocolate Cake recipe infused with Kahlua and coffee.



They turned out ah-mazing! The cake is always good, but I was really impressed with the frosting! It's a great, unique flavor. The Failey's, which is actually called Michael's Celtic Irish Creme, worked just fine in this recipe!



And no, you can't get drunk off these cupcakes, at least not without eating the entire bowl of frosting and then washing it down with a couple of real mudslides. A sugar coma, however, is highly likely :)

Peace, love and cupcakes,

Amanda
