St. Patrick’s Day Cupcakes
Start by preparing the cupcakes according to the box’s directions and make certain that you allow the cupcakes to cool completely before decorating.
Add in the butter, icing, sugar, and milk into a large bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat together all the ingredients and make certain that you start on low and gradually increase to high.
Beat ingredients until it is smooth and you’re able to create semi-stiff peaks.
Bake the cupcakes according to the box directions. And let them cool completely before decorating.
Cupcake Decorating Ideas
Divide the buttercream into 4 separate bowls. Add one color of gel food coloring to each bowl.
To achieve a rich color, add about 2-3 small drops (a bit less than ¼ of a teaspoon).
Mix each bowl of buttercream until completely tinted.
