What a fun challenge we have for our Teapot Tuesday tickler this week. Our task is to bring our favourite tea time treat. I'm not really a tea drinker (gasp!), but I do like an occasional sweet nibble with my coffee. I'm bring my favourite cupcakes - Chocolate Guinness Cupcakes with Whipped Cream Cheese Frosting. Yes, there is Guinness in the batter and I sometimes add Irish Cream to the frosting, sometimes going so far as to tint the frosting a pretty green for St. Patrick's Day. For my card I've mounted my cupcakes on a white iridescent square that has been dry embossed with swirls to represent the frosting. The pink panel has shiny confetti-like bits that remind me of the cake sprinkles I add for special occasions. Enjoy!

Fun card and interesting recipe -- I think of beer as something you use in frying batter, not cupcake batter, but maybe it plays the same role of making it light and airy?

Well, all the Guinness recipes I've come across and that's a new one to me. The last two years when we were sometimes working from home I was often trying different recipes rather than throw the rest of the bottle out after tasting, but mostly I just made bread. Sounds like the perfect St Patrick's Day treat, I bet the frosting tastes good.

Well, you had me at Guinness and Irish Cream! I typically am not much of a baker but this recipe sounds like something I'd LOVE to try!!! Giggling because your card has such a sweet innocent look that who would guess the cupcakes pack a punch - lol
