St. Patrick's Day Party Desserts for Kids

St. Paddy's Day party Clover the Rainbow Cupcakes: Use your favorite cup cake mix or batter. Follow directions for mix.

Line about 28 cupcake tins with cupcake liners, may make less or more cupcakes. Fill each one about ½ way with batter. Take foil and roll up into balls about ½ to 2/3 inch in diameter. You need three foil balls for each cup cake. Place foil balls evenly around the outside of cup cake liner but on the inside of cupcake tin. Then bake. Cupcakes are only half full so cooking time is less. Mine took about 15 minutes.

St. Paddy's Day party Let cup cakes cool. Then remove foil balls and remove cupcakes from cupcake tin. Cover with green frosting. Use liquid green food coloring to color white frosting. Add a stem. I used air heads xtremes sweetly sour belts. I cut them in half lengthwise then into 2 inch pieces and pushed one end into cupcake.
