Martini Cupcakes – Chocolate Mint Cupcakes with Bailey’s Frosting
Learn how to make adorable and festive martini cupcakes inspired by the Dirty Girl Scout Shot. These alcohol infused cupcakes are in martini glasses, making them look like the real thing, sugar rim and all!
Shape the tin foil into cones and place into a cupcake tin
Spray the molds with cooking spray
Chocolate Mint Cupcakes
Follow the box instructions and add in the Kahlua and peppermint extract with the wet ingredients.
Divide the cake better evenly into the molds – typically this will be 12 cupcakes.
Bake according to package instructions, minus a few minutes so the bottoms don't burn.
Bailey's Frosting
Use an electric or hand mixer to beat the butter until smooth. Then gradually add the powdered sugar.
Once mixed, add in the salt, vanilla extract, and Bailey’s. For the Bailey’s, I recommend starting with 2 Tablespoons and then gradually adding more, 1 Tablespoon at a time. You want to make sure the flavor comes out, but adding too much will make the frosting too liquidy.
If you want to signal that it’s mint flavored, add a few drops of green food coloring.
Form the Martini Cupcakes
Prepare a plate with the crystal sprinkles. Then dip the glass into a plate of water or corn syrup and then dip it into the sprinkles. This allows them to stick, just like with actual glasses.
Then pipe the frosting onto the cupcake into whichever pattern you’d like.
