Leprechaun Hat Cupcakes
How sweet are these Leprechaun Hat Cupcakes? Of course it is all edible and they are EASY to make. The hats are created using Marshmallows and Cookies then decorated to look just like a hat a mischievous little leprechaun would wear.
Then you just place your hat on top of your frosted cupcakes. You can even make your cupcake batter green using food coloring for even more fun.

Rainbow & Pot of Gold Cupcakes
I adore these Rainbow & Pot of Gold Cupcakes !! They are also super EASY to create. The rainbow is actually just Airheads Rainbow Belts Candy and the Pots of Gold are made using Tootsie Rolls and topped with some Gold Sanding Sugar.
Then you just create your cloud frosting using white frosting in a piping bag !! How cool is that? Or you can frost the top of your cupcake green and use mini marshmallows to represent your clouds.

Lucky Charms Cupcakes
Everyone will love these Lucky Charms Cupcakes - they are Magically Delicious !! I made these last year and I also created FREE Printable Lucky Charm Cupcake Wrappers and Toppers. These are so much fun to make and share because Lucky Charms Cereal is such a must have on St. Patrick's Day - so why not add it to your cupcakes too !!

Taste the Rainbow Cupcakes
I love Rainbow Cupcakes and they are not as hard as they look to make. When someone bites into the cupcake the surprise is on the inside when they see all those great colors. You can decorate the top of the cupcake any way you like - maybe add some Chocolate Gold Coins, but the best part of this cupcake is the inside. This is a great choice for a St. Patrick's Day Treat !!

Leprechaun Mischief Cupcakes
This Leprechaun Mischief Cupcake is another one of my favorites and SUPER Easy to make. How can you resist a giggle when you look at that and think of all those crazy leprechauns. This is created simply by printing out the FREE Leprechaun Legs Template, cutting them out and sticking them on top of your frosted cupcakes. These St. Patrick's Day Cupcakes are sure to make anyone smile.
