Nice one! Imagine celebrating another country’s national & religious holiday with a food that offends its population
I’m sorry that you’re offended by these cupcakes, although none of my Irish friends or family are offended by them. I do understand where you’re coming from and while I didn’t actually invent the recipe, I did change the name. If you feel like it’s still problematic, I’m happy to take suggestions. 🙂
