You can print the recipe below, but here are the basics. Make a white cake and tint it with green food coloring. I use gel food coloring because the colors are more vivid when the cupcakes are cooked. Spoon batter into muffin cups. I initially wanted to use gold foil cupcake liners but after trying four stores I went with this rainbow striped baking cups from Wilton. After all, the pot of gold is found at the end of the rainbow! After they bake, let them cool completely, not just on the outside but all the way through. I would give them a good hour.
After they are cooled, take a spoon or my favorite new baking tool, a cupcake corer and cut a hole in the middle of each cupcake. This tool works fast, it’s like a cupcake hole punch, it cores a hole right into the middle. You can fill any cupcake with frosting, fruit filling or candy.
