Lucky Me!

My great friend, Suzanne asked me to make cupcakes for her daughter's class as they celebrate St. Patrick's Day. These are all vanilla and the home made fondant toppers are some of the typical St. Patrick's Day symbols. The leprechaun hat, the pot of gold and the lucky shamrock.
Hope the kids feel as lucky getting to eat these up as I feel when I am asked to bake!

Mary needs no Luck!

This lucky batch was baked for our friend Mary.  Mary was born in Ireland and caring for kids since she was a kid herself.  She cared for both of my children when I was working full time and taught me so much, loved my children as she did her own and made us all feel like extended family.  Pat (her husband) and Mary are angels here on earth to us.  Mary is the most positive person I have ever met and her kindness needed some recognition.  I made these with her family in mind and hope all this homemade marshmellow fondant is not too sweet. 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Thank you to Julie from Indiana for this inspiration!
