Here's a little close up of the "green-ness"...
Not only is today St. Patty's day, it was also my day to bring food to work for the appetizer club I am in. So, again, sticking with the green theme I made rice krispie treats in the shapes of shamrocks and green funfetti cupcakes. The tops of the cupcakes were decorated with piped butter cream frosting to resemble a cloud. The I took a Rolo and put yellow frosting and gold sprinkles on top, to resemble a pot o' gold. I cut multi-colored sour ropes from Sweet Factory into short strips and attempted to arc them on the top of the cupcake.
These did not quite turn out the way I had hoped. I think i was supposed to cut the sour ropes a few days ago and lay them over something round to get hard and mold into an arch, because when i put them on the cupcakes, they fell flat. After i took them into the office and dropped some off at daycare, I had a thought... "i should have stuck a tooth pick in the cupcake and under the candy to prop it up into the arch." Oh well, live and learn!
I also made green shamrock shaped rice krispie treats. Can you really go wrong with rice krispies treats? I think not. These were a HUGE pain in the butt to make, however. The cookie cutter i used kept getting really sticky, so after every one i cut, i had to clean it under hot water. It was a long process!
The end results!
Again, HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!!!
Lots of Love and Bunches of Hugs
