♣ Happy St Patricks Day ♣

I don't quite know why I like this holiday, it always happens in the middle of the week, and I am not all that fond of beer or Guinness. I think the reason why I like it is the abundance of green, and clovers! I baked mini Apple Cupcakes with white chocolate topping for the occasion.
I used a recipe from the Wilton website, and while the method is a bit unusual, they turned out to be nice little bites of goodness!

I have to apologise for my lack of blog commenting, my Grandpa is very unwell, after emergency surgery last week, and I have been busy visiting the hospital and keeping the house in order for Mum. Grandpa is 89, and is doing ok for someone his age, but we certainly are not out of the woods yet.
Any-who, here is the recipe for the Apple Cupcakes...

Ingredients:
