St Patrick's Day cupcake

Martha has a holiday selection in her book.  I decided to make the St. Patrick's Day cupcake.  It's a brown sugar pound cake w/ Bailey's Irish Cream frosting.  I was a little concerned about a cupcake with brown sugar.  OH MY GOODNESS, IT WAS YUMMY!!!  It was lighter than I thought it would be.  I could eat these all day.

 I was told the frosing is very yummy.  I don't like Bailey's. So I didn't try it.

Andy took these to work and they were a HUGE hit.  Glad everyone enjoyed them.

I did find out what happens when you don't get all the brown sugar mixed into the batter.  You get a hole in your cupake and a gooey mess.  Even though it's a mess, it's a very tasty mess.  I ate a couple that had a gooey mess.  Very yummy!  I will definately make these again.  In the regular part of the book these have a different frosting.  I'll have to give that a try too.
