Do the Corned Beef and Cabbage Cupcakes Really Have Corned Beef and Cabbage in Them? You bet they do! The cupcakes contain corned beef and the frosting has cabbage in it. They are topped with ground corned beef. I was unable to get too many of my friends to even go near these cupcakes. So, my husband’s friends became the guinea pigs. He sent me the following reviews: “It was not what I expected when I bit into it.” (This could be a good or bad thing. It depends on what this person expected.) “Pushing your taste buds” (I like to have my taste buds pushed. I assume it’s a good thing.)

If you want to try some totally different St. Patrick’s day cupcakes, give them a go. In terms of unique cupcake flavors, they didn’t compare to my beer cheese bacon Super Bowl cupcakes, but they were decent.

    The Corned Beef Cake Recipe: For the cake, I took the flavors typically found in a corned beef and cabbage recipe and added them into basic cake recipe. I used beer in the cake since many corned beef and cabbage recipes use beer as a base – and why not have another beer cupcake recipe?
