St. Patrick's Day!

First of all,

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Of course, I decided to make St. Patrick's Day cupcakes. These are peanut-butter-chocolate cupcakes! This is the original one that I found


I didn't really decide to do anything different to the recipe this time, except that I didn't make my own batter like it tells you how to. Here's all the ingredients I needed:
Batter: Mix, 3 eggs, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 1 1/4 cup water.  Filling: 3 oz cream cheese, 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp milk, 1/4 cup peanut butter. Decoration: vanilla icing, wax paper (I was going to use parchment, obviously) and sugar sprinkles.




The filling was made first. It was quite easy to mix together and turned out quite yummy!

After mixing together the filling and mixing together the batter, I filled the cupcake lines about 1/3-1/2 way full of batter.


I then place a small spoonful of the peanut butter filling into the center of the cupcake.


Then, I went back through and covered the peanut butter with some more batter.


After baking them, some of them ended up cracked. As before, I assume they were just over filled. The recipe was meant for Texas size muffins and well, that's not what I did. =)


While they were cooling, I found two different pictures online that I wanted to use for decoration:

I printed off both pictures and then traced them on wax paper. After that I cut the images out and used the piece of wax paper that had the cut out image in it.

After they cooled, I did them one at a time.
Then I put frosting on by hand, no piping or anything:
I then placed one of the images on top (the 4 leaf clover in this one, but it's kinda hard to see):
After dipping it in the green sugar and taking off the wax paper, this is what you have:

Not too bad for the first one. They came out better as I went:
