k.g.mom & MJ - I agree - more people need to know and appreciate the wonderful combination of orange and chocolate! So yummy!!! I don't like using coffee/espresso in my baking. When I bake with them, all I taste is the coffee (*bleck*). Can I substitute more Irish Cream or water in the cupcake recipe? I'd probably use a basic vanilla for the frosting and add a touch of the Irish Cream, as stated in the recipe. I'd love to make these for my husband, who is a Bailey's fanatic, but I'd like to eat them too! Help a girl out here :) GG, I'm pretty sensitive to the coffee taste too, so I'd say water the coffee down by half. It should still give the chocolate that extra boost, but not taste like coffee. If you just aren't into it, yes you can use all water. ~ MaryJane
