bailey's buttercream frosting

1 cup butter (2 sticks), at room temperature
3 cups powdered sugar
4 Tablespoons Bailey's Irish Cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1. Place all ingredients in a large bowl. Use electric mixer to blend together; mix until smooth and creamy. 
2. As this blogger tips, if using a piping bag, place the bag in a tall drinking glass, so it's easier to fill the bag with frosting. Pipe frosting onto (or INTO!) completely cooled cupcakes. Enjoy!

I served my bailey's buttercream over guinness chocolate cupcakes cooked in mini mason jars for St. Paddy's Day book club. Some cakes were stuffed with a frosting surprise, and topped them with candy shamrocks.
BOOKISH - Served at A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. Irish!
