pot of gold cupcakes

In honor of St. Patrick's day and to thank the wonderful team at Anthony's pizza for always feeding my team at work I decided to make cupcakes. Nothing to big or hard but just a sign of appreciation. Now to make them festive I took the air head sour strip candys cut them into smaller strips and bought chocolate coins. I also invested in one of my favorite products edible gold spray.

to start I made chocolate devils food cake and my tried and true cream cheese frosting. Cream together one stick of salted butter, a stick if cream cheese, add in one pound of sifted powdered sugar. A pinch of salt, a splash of milk and a bit of vanilla. Super easy but super delicious. I then frosted my cupcakes sprinkled half in green sprinkles and sprayed he other half with my gold spray. Keep in mind it will darken after it sits. I then took the candy strips and arched them onto the gold cupcakes to look like a rainbow and put a coin in at the end. And a gold coin on the sprinkle ones too. And Tada quick and easy with delicious results.

and here is a picture of my new shirt that I find hilarious and very me!! Hope you all had a wonderful and safe holiday!
