   Keep refrigerated.

6. 6

   Note: Do not chop your chocolate too finely. You want pieces that will give you a pocket of gooey chocolate every here and there!

7. 7

   For the Bailey's Irish whipped cream, chill mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer before whipping (see note below).

8. 8

   1. Pour whipping cream into the chilled bowl and beat until soft peaks form. (You may want to beat a little bit longer than usual, since the cream will be on top of sloped cupcakes. But beware! DO NOT beat until the cream starts to get chunky!)

9. 9

   2. Add sugar and liqueur while mixing, just until completely combined.

    Note: Chilling is not absolutely necessary, but it makes a difference in the end product.
