I'm so stoked for Irish Car Bomber's birthday, so I can make him a big ol' tray of THESE. My college friend Teanna, over at Spork or Foon? adapted this recipe, and I can't wait to give it a shot.

Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes. So beautiful, I might cry.

How appropriate

So, I made this over the Weekend. Glad it was a snarky weekend, rainy and windy, otherwise I'm sure it wouldnt have gone over well.
