Cooking Games and Saint Patrick’s Day


There are so many different things you can do to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with cooking games. After all, Saint Patrick’s Day is all about the green, so if you focus on color in your food selections, you just can’t go wrong.

My personal favorite to make on this very green holiday is the green cake. You can make green cupcakes as well, of course, following the same recipe. Start with a box of cake mix in either vanilla or angel food. I prefer golden vanilla as it’s a richer taste, but it’s entirely up to you. Make the cake per the instructions on the box and then drop in a liberal dose of green food dye.

Mix well and bake the cake as you normally would. The end result is a bright green cake. Top off that green cake with vanilla icing dyed to a lovely shade of green as well and put some green sprinkles on top of the whole thing. It’s a green confection of pure deliciousness.
