Fun and easy St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes made with chocolate cupcakes and the best green Buttercream Frosting you've ever tasted.  Leprechaun tested, St. Paddy approved.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Make a batch of chocolate cupcakes.
  2. Make a batch of our Best Buttercream Frosting recipe.
  3. Split the batch of frosting into thirds. The first third we left white and we tinted the other two dark and light green.
  4. Using a Wilton 1M Open Star frosting tip, make one and a half circles of dark green frosting around the edge of the cupcake.
  5. Next, use the Wilton 1M frosting tip with the light green frosting. Apply one and a half more circles of frosting but these should be a little smaller than the dark green frosting layer.
  6. Finally, add a final two circles of white frosting, this time swirling the top up into a peak.
