St Patrick’s Day Cupcakes & Pudding Shots

My brother was the first one to introduce me to the infamous Guinness, Bailey’s, and Jameson drink and I cannot say I thank him for it. I was visiting him at college and he almost let me drink the curdled bailey’s. I was just trying to fit in with these older, cooler college kids, how […]
