Instructions
Lucky Bailey's Cupcakes
- Make white cake with ingredients called out on directions of cake mix.
- Reserve 1/3 of cupcake batter and set aside.
- Add in some drops of green food coloring to the remainder of the cake, mix until color achieved and pour into cupcake liners 2/3 to 3/4 of the way full.
- Take reserved 1/3 cupcake batter and drop a spoonful on top of the green batter and spread to edge of each cupcake. Use knife and do one swirl in each cupcake.
- Bake in oven as directions say.
Bailey's Irish Cream for infusing tops of cupcakes
- After the cupcakes have been baked and cooled, poke a few holes in the top of each cupcake using a fork or toothpick or something similar. Then pour up to 1 - 2 or 3 teaspoons of Bailey's on the top of each of the cupcakes. The holes will help the Bailey's reach the interior, infusing the cupcakes. Yum!

- Add the salt and vanilla and mix until combined.
- Mix in 3-4 Tbsp Irish Cream. Add more or less depending on the consistency of frosting you desire.

- Decorate with sprinkles and mini chocolate chips.
