Saint Patrick's Day Cupcakes

From:

Martha Stewart Living

The three-leaf clover, or shamrock, became linked with Ireland through the missionary work of Saint Patrick, who used its trefoil pattern to symbolize Christianity's Holy Trinity. In celebration of the holiday that commemorates the saint's death (March 17), place a sprig or two of clover atop each cupcake decorated with buttercream icing. Remove sprig before eating.

Frosting was delicious! Actual cupcake was a little to hard and not light and fluffy like I imagined they would be. Little dissapointed Martha! :(

Dip a shamrock cookie cutter in green food coloring and lightly touch the top of the white frosting - for grown ups that don't like gummy things!

you can also cut the clover out of jell candy that's been rolled out flat or use a green fruit roll up.
