As a side note, I sent a tweet to her asking if it was really sweet and she responded to me!! I know getting excited about something like that makes me super lame and a huge nerd, but she's kind of a big deal to me so just go with it. And to answer my question, the frosting is not overpoweringly sweet. I thought it would be a perfect opportunity to try it then, since my roommate doesn't care for super sweet.
I adapted the frosting by subbing in about a tablespoon of Bailey's instead of vanilla. The verdict: the frosting was alright, but could have used a bit more time in the mixer and fridge... I won't use it for these cupcakes again, but it'll definitely find its way on to another baked good sometime in the near future. As The Pioneer Woman said; it's magic. I also used a better quality chocolate in the ganache (I love Ghirardelli) and it almost didn't make it into the cupcakes. I might have eaten some of it with a spoon, after I made sure the cupcakes were full, of course...
Since I was so busy with baking, I made the cupcakes twice last week, I completely forgot to take any kind of pictures... How about a rainbow? That's St. Patricks-y, right?
