Cupcakes, Oh How I Love Them!!!

So I'm a baker, and one of my favorite things to bake is cupcakes. Since turning 21 a few months ago, I have started making all of them with alcohol. I find it more interesting. So I've decided that I'd start posting the recipes for these cupcakes. I've found pretty much all of them online by using google(that wonderful thing!) I tend to make adjustments depending on if I think something else will do better. I may one day just decide to make my own recipe. I might just do this because I always have excess alcohol and don't always want to drink it. So making random desserts, of course mainly cupcakes, would probably be a better use of it than getting drunk haha. Also sometimes the types of alcohol I buy I try it, and I don't always like the taste of it even mixed with things. Case in point: Kahlua. It's fine, I just won't drink it. I didn't much care for it, so I started making a lot of cupcakes with it. I had bought it for a tiramisu I was making. The recipe was from Drunken Desserts and this was the tipsy version and it called for other liqueurs too. So the tiramisu recipe barely used any of it, so I was left with a lot of Kahlua. So to me the best thing was to find cupcake recipes that would use it, yet I still have some left. I guess I'm going to have to make some more cupcakes. haha. So here are some tipsy cupcakes I've made these past few months.
Margarita Cupcakes

Pink Champagne Cupcakes
(Sorry my piping skills sucked that day because I didn't have the proper cupcake tip)

 Strawberry Chocolate Vodka Cupcakes
(This was a variation on Raspberry Chocolate Vodka from The Food Network)

 White Russian Cupcakes

Kahlua Double Chocolate Chunk Cupcakes

So I will definitely post the recipes soon. I'll also be making a whole lot more. I have so many more to try and so much more alcohol to use haha. 

For now this is all,
