St. Patrick's Day Leprechaun Treasure Cupcakes

Directions:
Make your favourite cupcake recipe. It can be from a box, a homemade family favourite or any un-iced cupcake. Once cooled, use a cupcake corer to remove the cupcake’s core. Fill the inside of the cupcake with sprinkles.

Tint buttercream icing green using [easyazon_link identifier=”B0000CFMU7″ locale=”US” tag=”famfooandtr06-20″]Wilton’s Icing Colours[/easyazon_link] in Green. Make sure to use only a tiny bit because the gel is highly concentrated and you need very little to produce a nice green.

Using a piping bag and a [easyazon_link identifier=”B00FGVD8UW” locale=”US” tag=”famfooandtr06-20″]large star[/easyazon_link] decorating tip. Pipe cupcakes in a circular motion to create a design.  You can top with a different kind of sprinkles or decorator’s sugar but I thought it best to keep it simple with an inside full of sprinkles.

    Thankyou for posting this awesome recipe. I already pinned it to my Board. I never heard of a cup cake core . Thankyou for the information! This idea is so clever I think I would probably put pudding in the middle. Have a Great St Patricks Day!!

    My girls mentioned that they would like to make cupcakes with treasures inside. Yours seem perfect. I just need one of the scooper tools.

    This looks so good, what a good idea! Looks like you cut the middle out after its cooked, what do you do with it?

      Yes – that’s correct – you pop the middle out with a cupcake corer, fill with sprinkles and ice. The middle can be thrown out or eaten as is!
