St. Patty's Day Cupcakes


Usually I steal Martha Stewart's decorating ideas and go around bad-mouthing her recipes...but this one turned out great. So, I eat my words. These mini cupcakes are a combination of three recipes. Just use the carrot cake cupcake batter (not the frosting or decorating) here. Then make this recipe from The Cake Bible for the frosting:

9oz white chocolate melted (carefully) and cooled to room temp.
4oz unsalted butter, room temp.
12oz philadelphia cream cheese, room temp.

Beat everything together. Pipe it on with a pastry bag/tip.

From yet another Martha recipe, steal the decorating idea: pick some clovers, wash them, and stick them on the top.

You can make 12 big cupcakes (put two clovers on top), or 42 minis out of the same recipes.

Enjoy!
