Cupcakes in three parts

Saturday: The frosting

Irish Cream Frosting

1 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup of butter, softened

1/4 cup Bailey's Irish Cream Liqueur
2 cups of powdered sugar

Beat the cream cheese and the butter until combined and creamy. Stream in the Bailey's with the mixer running until incorporated. Mix in the powdered sugar until smooth.

Taste. Add a little more Bailey's for flavor or powdered sugar as needed. The frosting will appear a little thin compared to traditional American buttercream or cream cheese frosting, but put it into a bowl and let it chill. It will become a thick, luscious delight.
