GREEN Velvet Cupcakes!

So... how awesome is it that my boyfriend's birthday falls on St. Patty's Day!  This allows me to be creative!  Of course his favorite cupcake is red velvet, and that is more Valentine's Day if you ask me... so I put a little tweak in... and made GREEN velvet cupcakes.  It finally gave me an excuse to bust out the Kitchen Aid I begged for for Christmas!  I got the cupcake display at Home Goods... can anyone else spend hours in that place?!  Thank you Paula Dean for always coming through on delicious recipes... I think my father secretly wishes she was related to him in some way! :) 

Hope you all had a wonderful Irish Holiday!  Hope you were safe and cheerful! :) 

oh... and HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!
