I will freely admit that I don’t have a lot of fun in the kitchen. Rarely am I inspired to get creative in the kitchen. However, every once in awhile I get a crazy urge to get  in there and whip something fun up. My son is in kindergarten and every month he has a scheduled day that he is supposed to bring snack for his classmates. This month I felt inspired to make something fun for him to bring, so I made some St Patrick’s Day Mini Donuts!!!

Easy Christmas Donuts

A couple Christmas’ ago I shared these Easy Donuts that I made. Check out that post if you want the recipe and the play by play for how I make my donuts!

I changed up the frosting for these donuts too. I still covered them in the powered sugar glaze and let them dry. Then I melted a can of store bought frosting in a microwave safe bowl and dipped the tops of the donuts in the frosting. It created a great layer of frosting and I mean, who doesn’t love frosting?

Oh and sprinkles! I decided in the spirit of St Patrick’s Day to add some rainbow sprinkles to the donuts.

It may be hard to tell in the photos but I also made the donuts green!

Lucky Charm Cupcakes
Oh Pinterest how I love you. Even though you suck hours out of my day, you also provide so much fabulous inspiration!!! I found these Lucky Charm Cupcakes while perusing one day and knew that I had to give them a try!
I’m not the best at decorating cakes and cupcakes, so this idea looked like an easy way to make cupcakes look good with little talent. My daughter is having a St Patrick’s Day party in her class today and I decided this was the perfect opportunity to make these adorable cupcakes! Like I need an excuse to make cupcakes????
I just used yellow cake mix, vanilla frosting, green sprinkles, and of course Lucky Charms. They are almost too cute to eat……almost.
My little leprechauns have already been swarming around them! Heck even I have been tempted…..cupcakes for breakfast? I….must…..resit…..sugary goodness!!!!
