How To Make irish flag cupcakes

Step 1

NOTE: One large package of M and M's should have enough green and orange candies to make this recipe. Use the rest for M and M's cookies if you like.

Step 2

Preheat oven and mix cake batter according to directions on box. Separate batter into 3 equal parts each in a separate small bowl. Use food coloring and color 1 part of batter green, 1 part orange, and leave one part white. Line cupcake pans with paper liners. Spoon some of each color of batter into each paper lined cupcake. You can leave as is or swirl batter a bit to look tie dyed. Bake according to directions on box.
Step 3

Cool cupcakes completely before frosting with white icing. Drop a few orange and green M and M's on each cupcake.
