St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes!

Here's a fun way to celebrate Paddy's Day with a sweet green treat!
My friend Chelsea & I baked these delicious cupcakes and got creative. :)
Luck O' the Irish Lemon Cupcakes:
What you will need:
  • Box of Lemon Cake Mix (we used Duncan Hines) & ingredients according to mix
  • Tub of Lemon Frosting (again, we bought Duncan Hines- it was on sale!)
  • Green Food Coloring
  • *Optional: (but highly recommended) Package of Oreos for the bottom of the cupcakes, like the Oreo Cupcake recipe. Green and/or Orange sanding sugars for decorations.
Let's get started!
After preheating oven according to Mix directions, begin to line your muffin pans with paper liners. (Optional) If you choose, drop an Oreo flat in the bottom of the liner.
Batter: Follow directions on box to make batter. After the delicious lemon cupcake batter is even mixed, add 3-4 drops of Green Food Coloring into bowl. Stir until well blended & no yellow (lemon) coloring is left.
Scoop the green batter into paper liners & bake according to time on box.
Decoration: Once cupcakes are cooled, frost them with your lemon-yellow icing. Then, lightly shake the green and/or orange sugars on top for color!
Have fun decorating, grab a Guinness and Happy St. Patrick's Day! :)
