Shamrock CupcakesPosted on Mon, March 3rd, 2008 Everyone's Irish on St. Patrick's Day, so get the family together to make a batch of these great-looking festive cupcakes.
RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
Cooled cupcakes (baked from your favorite recipe)
White icing
Green gum drops or spearmint leaves
Heart-shaped cookie cutter
Rolling pin
1. Frost a cooled cupcake (baked from your favorite recipe) with white icing.
2. 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).
3. Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter (ours was 1 1/2 inches across) to cut a heart from each flattened leaf.
4. Place the points of 3 hearts together on top of the cupcake to form a shamrock.
5. Cut a stem from the excess of one of the flattened candies and set it in place below the 3 hearts.
