Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I was trying to be fun for this holiday so I made these rainbow cupcakes from Family Fun. I was worried they wouldn't turn out right, but they did! It's especially fun when you bite into them and see the colors inside.



Those little blobs of white on top are supposed to be clouds

I also cracked Ben up with my green breakfast of green pancakes, green eggs, and green milk. Those crazy leprechauns really surprised Ben when I poured him regular white milk and it instantly turned to green milk when it hit the glass! I think he was laughing at me more than anything because I was so excited. E thought it was cool too but his face was still frozen from just waking up so his big eyes got just a little bigger when he saw the leprechaun magic.

I had these exact same cupcakes at a playgroup we went to today. What I don't understand is how the colors didn't mix? Why don't they turn out all brown and puke-colored? Melinda, you're a talented cook.

Your cupcakes turned out way cute! I'm also a little surprised at how distinct each color is. They look good! I'm sure they tasted yummy too.

We made those cupcakes too! It was more fun to make and eat them than I thought it would be. Your trip to Louisville looked like a lot of fun. We'll have to try it out sometime.
