I am really loving Pinterest Sundays. Sunday has long been our laundry and grocery shopping day, so it's nice to add in a little fun! I would really like to try more crafts/sewing/home decor, but cupcakes seemed to have topped the list of what we make. They're just so fun and easy.
From the amount of booze cupcakes I have made, one might start to think I have a little problem. I actually have an alcoholic drink only a few times a year, but for some reason the boozy cupcakes appeal to me! On the rare occasions I do drink, one of my favorite mixed drinks is a Colorado Bulldog (Kahlua, vodka, soda, creme). For this reason these "white Russian cupcakes with Kahlua buttercream" really appealed to me. I used the recipe, for the most part, but substituted peppermint mocha Kahlua for all the alcohol:
I may have had to sample some of the ingredients, strictly for quality control of course! Yum!
The recipe turned out well. It only made one dozen, which was probably good since only a few of us could eat them!
Aren't they lovely, sprinkled with a bit of the Trader Joe's Peppermint hot cocoa mix?
My friend Debbie made this super cute stand for me, how nice was that? And guess where she saw it? Pinterest, of course!

They look delicious! Super cute cupcake dish too! I live pinterest Sundays!
Mmmmm, sounds tasty! I'm all about booze inspired cooking! It's funny you mention Colorado Bulldogs, I was just discussing that with some AZ natives and it appears, it must be a Midwest thing, because people here don't know what they are! Boy are they missing out :)
I think I'm just going to stop by your house on the way home from church...YUM! and beautiful all at the same time.
