I know that I've seen someone post some pictures on here of some Irish Car Bomb cupcakes. I'd love to know the recipe so I can make some for my dad's birthday coming up this weekend. Thanks in advance!

You can Google the words "irish car bomb cake or cupcakes" and it will come up. I have seen the recipe, but didn't save it. But it's out there in the internet world.

Macsmom has one on her googledocs page. Just look her up on the member list and in her profile you will see the gourmet flavor google doc attatchment!

Blimey, that's quite a weird name for something sweet. As someone from the UK, I think we would have to find a slightly more appropriate name. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Is this what you for? Sounds interesting.

I did not think a flav of a cake make me so grrrrrr. What a stupid and tackless name for a cake .

Sorry everyone for the name of the cupcake .....I thought it just sounded delicious. Thanks for the link luvbuttercream! This sounds absolutely delish!!! Maybe we can think of a different name for it.....any ideas??

That is the name of the alcoholic shot drink the cupcake is fashioned after.....there are lots and lots of pretty tacky names for shots, some outrageously tacky and big time offensive in my opinion.....but changing the name would kind of defeat the purpose of making a cupcake to match the shot, I would think...but heck, what do I know, call it whatever you want...!!!!!

As someone who spent 10 years in the military in the UK and had to check under her car every time she went out to her car I do find it quite a tackless name.

I made some of these last week and they were great. As for the name a buddy of mine changed it to Guinness Gasm

I have a recipe for chocolate Guinness cake with Bailey's in the icing... I make it for the Irish side of my family on St. Patrick's Day. But we just call it the Guinness cake.

Guiness cake sounds much better!!!! Although I can;t stand the stuff

Oooo! I do like the name Guiness cake. And I can't stand it either, lol!

Here is the recipe I use for car bomb cupcakes - they are quite popular where I live (people don't get their knickers in a twist about the name here). Good luck and enjoy them!

by the way - I live in Ireland.

sabriana, well, after 2 hours checking out the site you posted, I want to thank you so much for it! They have so much on there, but the cupcakes do look amazing & I can't wait to try them after reading the entire blog about them! THANKS MUCH!!!

You are so welcome. Everything I have tried on there has been a winner and the Guinness Cupcakes are the hit of my town...

Have fun!

When I get an email from her, I am always ready to spark up the ole cooker to try whatever she's made.

I have the recipe on my site too. just type guinness in the search.

I just made these cupcakes this weekend and they are just divine! I highly suggest them - but maybe not for your kids birthday party! I ended up adding more whiskey to the gnosh and a LOT more Baileys to the frosting. They were a big hit!!
