St. Patrick’s Day is here! When you think of St. Patrick’s Day, what color do you think of?…. Green of course!
So when my son said he wanted to make cupcakes on St. Patty’s day, I knew that we had to incorporate green into them. So, we decided to tint the frosting mint green. When they were done, we colored some confetti sprinkles with edible gold color to add to them. They were perfect for the holiday!
Cupcake recipe is from Gal On a Mission. It’s the best vanilla cupcake recipe i’ve ever had. Recipe makes a dozen cupcakes. Enjoy!
