Make Shamrock Cupcakes from Standard Pans

Step 3 Frost

Part of the shamrock-shaped illusion is the frosting method. The proper use of icing can remedy even a warped looking shamrock (such as occur when cupcake papers are too full).
Ice a thin line into the "stem" section. Then spread the icing in three arches to accentuate the leaves.

Cover with colored sprinkles, if desired.
