Green Cupcakes and Frosting
Enjoy the easy Green Cupcakes recipe from my grandmother's recipe file. She owned a restaurant and made everything from scratch with love.Green Cupcakes are very easy to make because all you have to do is add Green food coloring to a basic White Cupcake recipe and voila, you can have Green Cupcakes. But maybe you don't care if your cake is Green as long as the frosting is Green. Even easier! Just add the Green food coloring to your White frosting mix and swirl it through. Green frosting.
So now you can have Green Cupcakes for St. Patrick's Day or Christmas or any Spring or Summer festive holiday including children's birthdays. There are lots of birthday themes that would be enhanced by Green cupcakes. Enjoy!
