Welcome to Cupcake Tuesday! If you are new here, grab a cup of tea or a glass of milk and enjoy a cupcake!
St. Patrick’s Day is Wednesday! I couldn’t let another Cupcake Tuesday go by without sharing yet another fun green dessert with you. A special Thank you to all who linked up last week, I will be making a donation to our local Girl Scouts and also sharing some cupcakes with them.
Recently while visiting Amanda, over at I Am Baker, I fell in love with her St. Pattys Day Cake, all the different shades of green are so eye catching. I knew I had to try it in a cupcake.
I started with a white cake batter, you can find several really good recipes on my Cupcake Heaven page, toward the bottom. I divided the batter, then added green food color to each bowl.
- Layer 1 = 1 drop
- Layer 2 = 4 drops
- Layer 3 = 8 drops
- Layer 4 = 12 drops
- Layer 5 = 14 drops
Then I filled each cupcake liner with a heaping teaspoon of each color, and baked them at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
I think they turned out pretty cute! I think next time I will bake them in the jumbo cupcake pans, so that each layer has more batter and will show up more.
I frosted them with Buttercream Frosting, sprinkled them with green sugar, white nonpareils and Andes’ Mint Chips.
