Green Velvet Cupcakes for St. Patrick’s Day
Just like the ever so popular Red Velvet, these Green Velvet Cupcakes have a chocolate flavor but are a festive green color for St. Patrick’s Day. Added to the top is a shamrock made from my favorite Candy Clay.

Easy enough for a St. Patrick’s Day treat yet impressive enough to serve at a party, these cupcakes are sure to have guests green with envy! Starting with a box mix, you can’t get easier than that. I used Decorator Icing on them, however Buttercream Frosting would be delicious too! And of course a Candy Shamrock on top!
We have used Candy Clay several times. And honestly, I can’t express enough my love for how easy it is to use. You do need to plan ahead and mix it several hours or the night before, but other than that, it’s perfect to use for decorating cupcakes, cakes and desserts.
And better yet – it taste good…really good!

Quick question–Can I use white cake mix for this? I happen to have some that I won’t use and would hate for it to go to waste
Hi Layla, yes you can use a white cake mix. The yellow cake mix gives it a little more “velvety” flavor, but white is fine.
Happy Baking!
