Ingredients
- 1 Box white cake mix follow box directions
- Green food coloring
- Vanilla frosting
- Lucky Charms Marshmallows
- St. Patrick's Day Sprinkles
- Gold Edible Glitter
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the cupcake batter as per instructions on the box in a large bowl. Optional: Add green food coloring to the cake batter.
- Bake cupcakes. Allow cupcakes to cool completely after baking on a wire rack.
- Hollow out the center of each cupcake with a spoon.
- Fill the hollowed center of the cake with Lucky Charms marshmallows.
- Pipe frosting on each cupcake with a piping bag.
- Add desired sprinkles and edible glitter to match the St. Patrick's Day theme.
Notes
- To ensure even cooking, fill each cupcake liner equally with batter. A cookie scoop can help with this.
- For a more vibrant color, consider using gel food coloring instead of the liquid variety. It delivers a stronger color without changing the consistency of your batter.
- When hollowing out the cupcakes, be careful not to dig too deep, as this could cause the base to crumble.
- To pipe frosting like a pro, start at the outer edge of the cupcake and work your way toward the center in a swirling motion.
- When sprinkling edible glitter or sprinkles, do so over a clean baking sheet to catch any excess and prevent mess.
