St. Patty's Day Lucky Treats

Hi friends! Last night, I was in the mood for baking. So I decided to browse through the Blogging world for some fun challenges that focus on Saint Patrick's Day! Therefore, I decided to bake some yummy cupcakes and decorate them for St. Patrick's Day. But, since my name is Patty. I gave them the name: "St. Patty's Day Lucky Treats."

Now, I made cupcakes the quick way which is purchasing a cake box. But, I hope I can find some time to learn how to make them from scratch just like "Cupcake Wars." I did follow the recipe from the Powdered Sugar to make Buttercream Frosting. Here are the yummy cupcakes I made. Hope you all like them.

St. Patty's Day Lucky Treats

I purchased a bag of coconut at the Dollar Tree store.  I took about 1 to 2 cups of coconut and poured it into a baking dish. Then, I made sure the oven was turned on to 350 degrees and let it bake between 5 to 10 minutes until it is golden brown. Be sure to stir around so everything can get toasty. Then, I placed a small amount on each cupcake with a touch of green coconut.

I took 1 cup of coconut, 1 tsp of water, & 3 drops of green food coloring. I placed it in a Tupperware container and shake it rapidly. Then I placed it on the frosting to make it look like grass. Then, I added the pot of gold sitting on top of the grass ready for the Leprechaun to catch his gold.

 I used my Simply Charmed cartridge to cut the Leprechaun image on page 32 at the size of 35 I then taped it to a lollipop stick. Then I attached a gold coin that said "Get Lucky!" I also cut out the Pot of Gold on page 35 at the size of 2.5.

Materials Used:

Simply Charmed Cartridge: Leprechaun1 Size 3.5, Pot of Gold Size 2.5

Gold Coins

Lollipop sticks, toothpicks

Bag of coconut

Food Coloring

Cupcake Cups, Cake Mix, Powder Sugar for frosting

Now, these cupcakes would be perfect for a Saint Patrick's Day Party or to bring some luck to a friend by eating a yummy lucky cupcake. Thank you for stopping by. Have a great Friday everyone!
