St Patrick's day Cake

St Patrick's Day is a big deal to me. I have lots of reasons for this. too many to mention right now I guess. But I do a lot of "prep" to this holiday. and I do alot of "traditional" Irish foods, and some (like this one) that are not so traditional and more just "green fun"


This is a simple cake mix nothing fancy, but I added green food coloring to it to make the cake green :D and the frosting is home made. I added a touch of mint extract to the frosting to add a bit more "green" feel to it



The Shamrocks on the cake were easy enough to do, I used scotch tape over the holes in my green sugar shaker, so I only had one hole open and used a cookie cutter to keep the sugar where I wanted it.
