Okay, I'm a bit early but I wanted to share this awesome recipe which puts a twist on traditional red velvet cupcakes; green velvet cupcakes! How cute is that? Consider settng aside some of the cream cheese frosting, add some yellow food coloring to it and use it as filling for your cupcakes (like a pot of gold inside your cupcakes!) Anyway, have a pint for me and send me pics of your weekend creations.
Happy Eating!
