corned beef and cabbage cupcakes-st. patrick’s day
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.)
