Utah Loves Cupcakes – St. Patrick’s Day Roundup!
Happy St. Patty’s Day!
The luck of the Irish has hit Utah’s cupcakes…so here we go!
Newcomer CutsieCakes starts us out with a kick. A little Guinness in the batter!
She’s offering two March specials: the Guinness Cake: a dark decadent chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting, resembling the frothy top of the famous pint.
The second is the Irish Cream: A moist yellow cake flavored with Bailey’s Irish Cream and topped with a dollop of sweet cream and slivered almonds.
Mini’s is featuring a few different kinds: Guinness cupcake with a dark chocolate and Guinness glaze, an Irish cream and coffee cupcake, it is a vanilla cake soaked in Irish cream, espresso, and whiskey with fresh whipped cream flavored with Irish cream dusted with coffee. We will also have some cute “out of gold” cupcakes for the kids.
Cupcake Chic has been making all sorts of St. Patty’s cupcakes. Above is a chocolate with mint buttercream I also tried the dark chocoalte with irish cream frosting yesterday at The Coffee Pod ..I want another one right NOW!
More from Cupcake Chic: chocolate with mocha frosting
Cravings pumped out these yummy green vanilla cupcakes with a green twist of buttercream frosting topped with a chocolate clover.
I love this tint of this green frosting by Cupcakes by Les. They are $2.50 each. Notice the cute cupcake candy on top of the first row…more on that later!
We’ve struck gold with these cupcakes made by the better half (you know I’m joking Nathan) of blogger Talkaholics Anonymous made these cupcakes. I’ve personally tried her cupcakes and they are so good! Thanks Krystal!
I think I could eat my weight in frosting over at the Primrose Retreat. Look how yummy and beautiful their cupcakes are and that gorgeou frosting…ahh!
The specialty flavor is Bailey’s and Cream. They are offering our Paddy’s Day six pack, six over stuffed cup cakes for $13.00.
Last but definately not least is Provo’s Sweet Tooth Fairy. This cupcake pictured above was a custom-made one but she’ll have an Irish Cream, Green Velvet and other fun green treats!
Hope you are wearing green and I hope you eat a cupcake today!
(If I left yours out email me and I’ll include it! Thanks!)

It’s no joke. She is definitely my better half. I love her cupcakes too, and I’m glad they made the list.
While all these pictures show a definite obsession, I don’t think you can go wrong when it involves baked goods.
