Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, so get the family together to make a batch of these festive cupcakes.
Ingredients
- Cooled cupcakes (baked from your favorite recipe)
- White icing
- Green gum drops or spearmint leaves
- Heart-shaped cookie cutter
- Rolling pin
Instructions
- Frost a cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) with white icing.
- For the shamrock, flatten 3 green gumdrops or spearmint leaves with a rolling pin (sprinkle on a little sugar, if necessary, to keep the candies from sticking).
- Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter (ours was 1 1/2 inches across) to cut a heart from each flattened leaf.
- Place the hearts together on the cupcake to form a shamrock.
- Cut a stem from the excess of one of the flattened candies and set it in place below the 3 hearts.
