Sprinkles is offering a limited edition, St. Patrick’s Day-themed cupcake this year. The Bailey’s Irish Chocolate Cupcake features Belgian dark chocolate cake topped with cream cheese frosting dosed with Bailey’s and topped with a fondant shamrock. The cupcakes are available March 12th through March 21st. To find a sprinkles location near you Go>
Or MAKE THEM AT HOME:
Since most of us don’t live near a sprinkles, we need to mix up our own. I am taking my cue from the pros by making my own version of the sprinkles Saint Patrick’s Day cupcake. They are simple and very special! Use a dark chocolate cake mix (I’m making mine with Duncan Hines Dark Chocolate Fudge Cake Mix), then top with Bailey’s Irish Cream Cheese frosting. Recipe below. I found shamrock sprinkles ( the smaller version) at my local supermarket and will use these to decorate my cupcakes – anything green will work.
