Bailey’s Irish Cream Frosting

When I am making our St. Patrick’s Day dinner of either Crock pot Corned Beef and Cabbage or bangers and mash with our Irish Soda Bread. I always want to also include a dessert. Normally my focus for dessert is on the kids and I make things like Lucky Leprechaun Poop, St.Patrick’s Chocolate Covered Pretzels and Lucky Charms Marshmallow Treats however I do want to include something that the adults can enjoy as well. Bring on the Bailey’s Irish cream Frosting! I personally prefer using this buttercream frosting on either my homemade chocolate cupcakes or my homemade vanilla cupcakes.
