These delicious Irish treats mimic a shake we've all grown to love at McDonald's, the shamrock shake. The cupcake itself is a light and fluffy vanilla cake with a touch of 'Irish Cream' added to it (buttermilk with Creme de menthe); after all, it wouldn't be an Irish cupcake without a little booze. The food coloring adds a little bit of green for an Irish flare, I would definitely kick up a notch next time. The frosting has white chocolate infused to create the milkshake-esque flavor in your mouth. For the frosting, it looks tricky but it's actually a really nice technique for beginners to try. Wrap up a log of each green and white frosting in saran wrap. Make sure they are equal in size, then slide both into a pastry bag so that they are side by side. When you squeeze, the two come together nicely to create a swirled two-tone frosting look. The great thing about these cupcakes is that even when the Shamrock shake season ends at McDonalds, you can enjoy these any day of the year!
