St. Patrick’s Day Edible Picture Cupcakes

There are many bakeries around now that have edible images to place on cakes. An edible image is a photo that is made completely out of sugar. Here is what you can do to make custom cupcakes for St. Patrick’s Day treats.

1 Box of your favorite brand of vanilla cake mix (add a few drops of green food coloring to batter)

1 tub of your favorite brand of vanilla Cream cheese frosting (add a few drops of green food coloring to icing)

Green foil cupcake liners

Before you bake the cupcakes you will need to call around your town and see who which bakery has the edible images available. Or you can get these cute little leprechaun ones on Etsy. The shop usually needs at least a 24 hour notice so be sure and place your order early. If using a bakery, you will need to go to that store and take a picture with you. Choose a photo relating to St Patrick’s Day and then tell the bakery employee what size you want the pictures to be. Just make sure they are small enough to sit on top of a cupcake.

Bake the cupcakes according to the directions and let them cool completely before you frost them and before you place the edible photo on top of each one.
