Instructions
CUPCAKES:
Pre-heat the oven to 180 deg C (350 deg F) – Line a 12 hole muffin pan with cupcake liners
Beat the Sugar and Butter together until creamy – add the Eggs and Vanilla – beat until well combined
Sift together the Flour and Baking Powder – add to the Sugar mixture and beat on low – add the Milk and Irish Cream, beat on low until combined
Divide the batter into 4 smaller bowls – add a few drops of each Food color (add as much or as little as you like, but rather start with less and then increase)
Spoon into the prepared muffin pan – add teaspoonfuls of each color per hole, repeat until all the batter has been used – use a toothpick and roughly give each batter filled hole a swirl or two
Bake 15 – 20 minutes or until done when a tester comes out clean - Remove from oven and pan - let cool on a wire rack
FROSTING:
Beat together the Cream Cheese, Butter, Vanilla and Irish Cream until smooth – add the Icing Sugar by the cup, whilst beating continuously, until you are satisfied with the consistency.
Pipe or spread frosting onto the cupcakes, sprinkle with green Sugar Crystals
Notes
Green Sugar Crystals – use plain White Sugar – add a drop of green food coloring and stir – the more you stir, the quicker the Sugar will dry and not become clumpy
