St. Patrick's Day

For St. Patrick's Day, I decided I wanted to make green cupcakes. Since Joe worked that night, I was able to send the majority of the cupcakes with him. (Luckily...otherwise I would have eaten most of them myself!) I usually do cakes and cupcakes from scratch, but this time I just did a boxed white cake mix and added green food coloring. I forgot how good cupcakes from a box are...they were so light and fluffy! I did make my own frosting, and that was really yummy. I wasn't super creative with my decorating, but we enjoyed the cupcakes. Apparently one of Joe's coworkers dreamed about the cupcakes and then woke up and headed to the store to try to find something similar. (He ended up with Twinkies...ha ha!) Maybe next year I will be a little bit more creative. I still need to learn how to make corned beef and cabbage. I used to LOVE when my Dad made it on St. Patrick's Day and have yet to try it myself.

Here are some pics of the cupcakes and my sweet little boy enjoying one:
