UPDATED: Tutorial HERE

So every year I try to prove how Irish I am.

I tell everyone my maiden name… it’s about as Irish as they come.

I show them my red(ish) hair and my pale skin and freckles.

I embellish greatly how much beer I can drink.

 

All so I can go out and celebrate “my” holiday.

The truth is I am 1/16th Irish.  My hair is more dishwater brown than red and my favorite beer is Mikes Hard Lemonade.  (yes, I know that is technically not a beer)

So this year I am just going to make a cake and hope no one pinches me.

***

I took the picture below and immediately scrapped the idea of it because I didn’t feel like ironing the fabric.  Yes, I am that lazy.  But then I figured, what the heck!  Why not just share it?  So here you go.  Happy Leprechaun-Shamrock-Pot-of-Gold-at-the-end-of-a-Rainbow-Dont-Look-at-the-Wrinkles Cake. 🙂

 

There will be a tutorial on this cake in a couple of days… and it will also show you how to do the mini-heart cake.  Sorry it’s taken so long, and thanks so much for your patience!

  1. I’m loving all these mini shapes in the cakes (heart, ‘f’ and clover). I can’t wait to see how you’ve done it!! I love the clovers on the outside too!

  3. LOL, love this post! Ironing is WAY overrated anyway, who has time for that and other time consuming things like showering when there’s baking and other things to be done? LOL!….or is that only me? If it is, then I’m just joking!

    So is the shamrock cake sorta kinda like the shamrock shake from McDonald’s or is it just in decor? Can’t wait to see the tutorial! 🙂
