Notes: Lots of story here. These aren't like any other cupcake I ever made - much more dense. I wanted really green cupcakes for St. Patrick's Day and boy - that's what I got! These really, truly are green. I did not use the cream cheese frosting - made a regular butter frosting. These were just what I wanted but they are not just what you would expect; look at the different ingredients from a regular cupcake. But they are just what they are advertised to be, faith and begorra!.
