Green Velvet Cupcakes and Mint Cream Cheese Frosting


This week I discovered a GREAT food blog called Love From the Oven while searching for some unique St. Patrick's Day desserts!!! I made the recipe for their Green Velvet Cupcakes and they are absolutely delicious!! Moist, GREEN and I topped ours with a mint cream cheese frosting!!!

You can get the recipe for the Green Velvet cake from the link above for Love from the Oven!!!

The mint cream cheese frosting recipe is as follows ---

2 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract
12 ounces (2 1/2 packages) cream cheese softened at room temperature
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter softened at room temperature

3 TBSP milk


In mixer blend all ingredients together until smooth. This makes enough frosting for 48 cupcakes!!!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!!
