Happy St. Patrick's Day!!

I had the most fun decorating these cupcakes today!  The recipe is from the Cake Mix Doctor:Cupcakes! book.  I vowed to bake every cupcake in this book when I got it in '07; as of today, I have made 67.  This recipe calls for Bailey's Whipped Cream icing, but for obvious reasons, I omitted this and bought some regular whipped cream icing and it totally did the trick.  To garnish, we had green edible glitter (Wilton calls them Cake Sparkles), and green candy shamrocks made with Wilton's Candy Melts in a shamrock candy mold.  Luckily for me I have a friend who happens to own such a mold, but specialty stores like Fran's sell every type of mold you could imagine.
These cupcakes were fun, easy, and yummy, which are the trifecta of awesomeness when baking with kids.  Hope you had a great St. Patty's Day!
