St. Patrick’s Day seems to always get ripped off when it comes to celebrating, right?! Aside from having to wear green, and getting the soup pinched out of you if you don’t….there’s not much else. Unless you drink green beer. Bleck.
I wanted to share a fun cupcake with you. These Rainbow Poke Cupcakes are so pretty and they’re so much fun to make! You can make a batch up to have at home OR to send to the kids’ classroom for their St. Patty’s Day partayyy! Who doesn’t love St. Patrick’s Day Cupcakes?! Before going any further…if you’re more of a throw together and go, then this St. Patrick’s Day Lucky Charms Trail Mix might be more your style!
If you’ve never had poke cake, you’re really missing out on a crazy bunch of goodness. Talk about moist. YUM! I first had poke cake when I was pregnant with little man. My sis in law made one for Easter and I swear, I could have ate the entire cake. I would have cut someone if they’d tried to stop me!
These rainbow poke cupcakes are JUST as good. You can’t eat just one. The recipe and some photos are below. If you’d like the printable version of the recipe to keep in your recipe box – just scroll down and you’ll find it.
See how pretty they are?!
