Chocolate stout cupcakes with Irish buttercream

These chocolate stout cupcakes with Irish cream buttercream were made by blogger The Culinary Chronicles. I feel like between Mardi Gras and St. Patrick's Day March is rivaling February in the holiday cupcake baking category!

She writes:

I chose a simple large round tip to pipe the frosting this time– a Wilton 1A. But as “understated” as I was trying to keep things, I could not resist breaking out the shamrock sprinkles. After all, I don’t get to use them very often — and who couldn’t use a little more luck?

As for the end results……they were delicious! The dark stout beer adds such a subtle nuttiness to the chocolate cupcakes while the Irish Cream buttercream perfectly rounds out the flavors. And if done correctly, the buttercream is so smooth and rich— a dream to pipe out :)

So whether you want to go BIG with the GREEN theme or be a little more subtle, Chocolate Stout Cupcakes are definitely the way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!
