7. Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Remove from the oven and let the cupcakes cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar and heavy cream, whisking until smooth. Add green food coloring, if desired.
11. Once the cupcakes are completely cooled, frost them with the Baileys Irish Cream frosting.
