I did it. I did it. I made the St Pattys Day cupcakes last night.
And I think they turned out great.
I love this picture of the cute little cupcake.
I'm telling you - Paula Deen would be so proud. These things were made from scratch and there was enough cream cheese and butter used that I know she would approve. However, the recipe said it would make 36 cupcakes... I only had a pan for 24. So, I baked a cake to go with the cupcakes.
Yes, it's hideous to look at but it was SOOO good. It made a thin cake, so I cut the cake in half and put the icing between the layers and then piled on the icing to cover it. And since I still had so much icing left over... I put some green food coloring in and made it for the border and the shamrock. Yes, I know it's terrible. I admit it. I'm no Carol Fanning!!
Last night was a great stress reliever from the week. I don't think I've had that much fun in the kitchen in at least a month. =) I had powdered sugar, EVERYWHERE. I had homemade cream cheese icing up to my elbows and did I mention... I'm still green?
Oh they look so pretty and yummy! Paula Dean would be very proud! Hope you are having a wonderful day!
