Happy (belated) Saint Patrick’s Day!!
If you follow BlondiCakes on Instagram or Facebook (if you don’t, you should), you would know that yesterday, Saint Patrick’s Day, I made some green cupcakes to celebrate. I know it’s a day late, but these delicious cupcakes can be made for any occasion, just omit the green color. These cupcakes use a bit of Irish cream liquor and white chocolate pudding to make a moist, and delicious, cupcake!
These aren’t the prettiest cupcakes I’ve made, but they’re yummy!
