Most local bakeries offer St. Patrick’s Day cupcakes topped with green frosting, sugar shamrocks and maybe even a jolly plastic leprechaun for good measure. Sure they look Irish-themed, but do they taste any different?
Sprinkles, one of our favorite sweet spots on the Upper East Side, is offering its own unique twist on the holiday with Irish Chocolate Cupcakes, available through Sunday. These treats not only look the part–with perfectly symmetrical clover adornments–but they taste Irish, too. (Psst! The cupcakes are made with Baileys Irish cream cheese frosting. How’s that for luck o’ the Irish?)
Plus, Sprinkles’ famous Red Velvet cupcakes will be tinted green on Saturday, March 17. These Green Velvet Cupcakes are topped with a classic cream cheese frosting and available for one day only!
