Irish Carbomb Cupcake - Feast Your Eyes

by Marisa McClellan, Posted Mar 10th 2009 @ 8:06AM

For those of you not in the know, an Irish Carbomb is a drink that combines Guinness, Irish cream (typically Bailey's) and Irish whiskey (often Jameson). Food blogger Sassy Radish has transformed that bar special into a boozy, chocolate-y cupcake and has made them look deliciously cute with a frenzy of frosting flowers. She doesn't have a blog post up yet to match up with these 'cakes, but I'm certain that when she does, the corresponding recipe will be a winner.

Thanks Sassy Radish!

Making "Carbomb cupcakes"? You guys have shipped people to Guantanamo for less offensive actions.

I realise that we're all supposed to ignore Ted Kennedy's links to terror and pretend that the whole "IRA thing" was a huge misunderstanding as he's awarded an "honorary" knighthood, but given the reappearance of Continuity IRA in the last week and the deaths of several people (including such "agents of imperialism" as a pizza delivery boy), perhaps we could refrain from naming cupcakes after instruments of death.

And for the record, you ignorant animals, no bar in Ireland would serve you an "Irish Car Bomb".
