Yum. I am definitely making these, perhaps not in time for St Pattie’s Day though, so I’ll skip the green frosting.

Elayne- The recipe made about 20 cupcakes (although, fair warning, I couldn’t get a decent count since they were gobbled up so fast!).

I used out of the can, store bought icing. I used plain old vanilla, melted it in the microwave to smooth it out, and dyed it green.

For a really decadent St Pat’s treat, the girl’s at We Are Not Martha have a recipe for Bailey’s frosting that would be delicious on Guinness Cupcakes: http://www.wearenotmartha.com/2009/01/chocolate-mint-chocolate-chip-cupcakes-with-baileys-frosting/

Wow – these sound great. Can’t wait to try them. What kind of frosting did you use? Was there Guinness involved in making that too?

thats interesting! I just became a guinness girl after all this time of light beer. sipping my guy’s I liked the foam and then I started to like the dark.

our local pub? just started serving guinness floats. ice cream and with a drizzle of baileys in a pint of G.

now that’s my kind of beer!
