St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Cupcakes
St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Cupcakes
I enjoy getting my children in the kitchen with me every chance I get. I was blessed to be able to cook in the kitchens of my two great-grandmothers, two grandmas, and, of course, my own mom’s kitchen. We use any excuse we can to make fun recipes together as a family and St. Patrick’s Day is no exception! Especially to bake these fun and delicious St. Patrick’s Day rainbow cupcakes.
Get in the kitchen with the kids and create some yummy goodness!
