Lucky Cupcakes


(this post contains an affiliate link) 

I came across a group of Leprechauns in my kitchen.  They were in such a hurry not to get caught, they left behind their hats filled with gold.




I found this package of mini hats at the dollar store.   Most people would look extremely silly wearing a miniature hat on their head, but I bought them because I had a better idea for them.  They were the perfect size to hold a cupcake. If you can't find these at the store, I did find them here on Amazon. 



I made a batch of cupcakes and let them cool off completely.   I used yellow tinted frosting, yellow sugar and yellow Wilton candies for the gold.




                                  These will be so much fun for St. Patrick's Day.

    I haven't seen anything like this. This is such a great idea to use the hats as cupcake holders. I'd love for you to share these at Whimsy Wednesdays at www.thenymelrosefamily.blogspot.com/2012/03/whimsy-wednesdays-2.html. We go live tomorrow night at 8 EST. I'm following.
