I love holidays! It’s a good thing that I’m a Kindergarten teacher, because we celebrate every holiday that we possibly can! Except right now . . . I’m on Spring Break. I’m not complaining (I LOVE my breaks . . . baking everyday!), I’m just simply saying, “Sorry world, instead of celebrating with 22, five year olds, I have to send my happy holiday baking creations out to everyone!!”
As it turns out, it’s a good thing that I’m a cupcake baker too, as I can celebrate every possible holiday as a baker too!
I’ve been working on a new flavour over the last couple of weeks . . . Salted Caramel! It’s a vanilla cupcake base, filled with dulce de leche, and topped with caramel buttercream and pink himalayan salt.
It. Is. So. Good. I can’t express that enough.
When I first tasted the icing with the salt on top . . . oh god, it was ‘O’ worthy (if you know what I mean!)
For St Patricks Day, I’m calling these “Pot o’ Gold”. They are definitely what I would want to find at the end of a rainbow!
I have also spent the last couple of months perfecting a fan favourite . . . the Irish Car Bomb cupcake!
I’m not a Guinness, or a Whiskey fan and this cupcake has both in it, but upon first bite, I knew it would be with me forever.
In case you missed my first post back in November 2010, the Irish Car Bomb is a Chocolate Guinness cake, filled with Whiskey Ganache, and topped with Bailey’s Buttercream! YUM!
Here it is dressed up for it’s Nation’s special day 🙂 March 17, 2011.
To finish up my St Patricks Day celebrating, I made a special order holiday cake!
You guessed it, fan favourite Irish Car Bomb is the cake inside!
