We had some friends over last Thursday evening and since it was St. Patty’s Day and since green is my favourite colour- I decided to make some green cupcakes and green punch.  The cupcakes were awesome- very moist and good taste- I would definitely recommend the recipe I used from Bakerella.  It was a red velvet recipe but was changed to green velvet for the occasion.  I also dyed the icing green since I really like green but a note- the cream cheese icing recipe in the original recipe yields about double what I ended up needing for 2 dozen cupcakes!  

I cant remember where I found the recipe for the punch but it was online and it was really easy- I’m pretty sure it was as follows: 

2 packages lime kool-aid

2 cups sugar

8 cups water

1 can pineapple juice

and.. 4 cans ginger-ale?  just add until desired fizziness

Both of these items were quite sweet but good for a special occasion!
