Guiness Beer Cupcakes

Recently, one of my male customers asked if I had a flavor that tasted like beer. My answer was no, but believe me I took that request as a challenge to uncover the perfect cupcake flavor for Father's Day. This week I will be baking a Guiness Chocolate Cupcake with Bailey's Butter Cream Frosting. The Guiness Beer in the cupcakes provides distinct chocolate and coffee notes with a dark earthy flavor that pairs perfectly with chocolate. The Butter Cream frosting with a hint of Bailey's Irish Cream reminds me of the white head that Guiness is famous for. Your Dad is sure to love them!

Happy Father's Day to you: )
