Notes
You can use canned frosting or your own frosting recipe to ice these cupcakes. If you are using a pastry bag filled with frosting you can use a Wilton #22 open star tip to get the pattern for the circles on the cupcakes.
You can also use the green spray icing for these cupcakes too. The cans do not hold a lot of icing so to make sure you have enough, you may need up to 4 cans to get the same results. 1 can will almost make 1 dozen. So I am guessing 3-4 cans for these.
To make your own green icing use a drop or two of green gel food coloring in white icing. Add more drops as needed to get the right shade of green.
