I needed some quick cupcakes to bring to a doctor’s appointment, so I cheated; I did a box mix. I did doctor it some (see what I did there?). I switched out the water and added coffee, then I added some chocolate vodka. That was the inside. On the outside I used my cream cheese frosting but added cocoa, chocolate vodka, and Kailua with just a pinch of salt. Cupcakes in an hour and a half. I hope you like it.

Dan, I don’t know what’s happening here. How are you able to get two of my favorite things to eat and drink in one of my favorite desserts? 🙃

Adding a cube of cream cheese to your buttercream frosting gives a desired creaminess to the taste and it holds the shape well with the frosting especially if you use a bag and tips. The chocolate vodka sounds good. At our store, we used to sell icing shots infused with liquor. One of the teachers nearby loved them!

I agree about the cream cheese! It’s a sneaky way of adding a bit of that certain “something” to evoke the taste of carrot cake frosting or cheesecake!
