Happy St. Patrick's Day! Cupcakes for everyone!

Okay, sorry. Not absolutely everyone, but definitely for my co-workers. As a St. Patrick's Day treat, I baked these yummy Stout Chocolate and Irish Cream Buttercream cuppies. To make the frosting I used this recipe from the Culinary Chronicles. And for the cake, you ask? Box mixed it with a self serve of Guinness. Yep. I cheated. Questions?

Hope you all have a wonderful St. Patrick's Day full of luck, love and lots of treats! Slainte!

Treats for your Sweets

Looking for a tasty treat for your sweetie this year? Here are a few of my favorite Etsy bake shops for Valentines yumminess. 

Whipped Bake Shop

The treats from whipped are what I would consider some serious foodie art. Check out the Delft Tile cookies below and I think you'll get the picture. Literally.

Birdcrumbs

While French Macaroons might be the latest craze, I love Birdcrumbs' take on the more rustic and North American style coconut macaroon. Lemon and lavender, Chai Masala? Yep. Just thinking about these flavors makes my mouth water!

The Cupcake Mint

If you're up for something along the vegan route- do I have a bake shop for you. The Cupcake Mint specializes in vegan treats and honestly, I think I'd pick them over non-vegan any day. Their creative flavors and stunning presentation absolutely wins me over!
