St. Patty's Day Cupcakes

By Shayna Mills NE Dallas MK Publisher Mom March 10, 2019

St Patrick's Day is here and Macaroni Kid is bringing you all kinds of fun to enjoy with your family.  One way you can make memories with your little ones on March 17th is by making some yummy Rainbow Cupcakes.  And no rainbow is complete without a leprechaun leaving some gold. 

Ingredients:

  • Cake batter of choice
  • 4 different food colors
  • Icing
  • Candy wrapped in gold (gold coins, Roll-O's, etc)

***** 

First, make your batter as you normally would for cupcakes and divide the batter into 4 bowls. 

Add drops of food color to each bowl.  I used yellow, green, blue, and red.

Layer your batter into your lined cupcake pan one at a time in any order of choice.  I did blue, red, green, then yellow on top.

 

Bake according to directions.

Tint your icing green and decorate your cooled cupcakes.  Top with your gold candy.
