Baileys Buttercream
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 stick unsalted butter at room temperature
3 tbl Baileys Irish Cream (or you can substitute it with milk or heavy cream)
Preparation:
Whisk butter (this is going to be hard with a whisk if you do it by hand, so I suggest using a fork; or one step up, an electric mixer). Add in a few tablespoons of powdered sugar at a time and continue to whisk butter.
Once all the sugar has been used up, add in Baileys and continue to whisk. If cream becomes too thin, add in a few more tablespoons of powdered sugar.
Pipe or spread butter cream over cupcakes and serve. Or you can place it into the fridge to allow butter cream to thicken then serve. Your choice, really.
