So after looking at this picture, I realize I need to learn how to frost cupcakes properly. Or maybe get one of those piping bags (can you say registry item)?
Anyway, although the picture isn't the greatest, these cupcakes were great! They were a moist, vanilla flavored cupcake. The frosting gave a nice spicy taste with the Jack Daniels and just a creamy chocolately flavor. I knew I had to make them as soon as I saw them since this is one of Scott's favorite adult beverages
