Floral-Irish Fusion on a Cupcake

One of Stephen's co-workers used to live in America where a much bigger deal was made of St Patricks day then it is here. What with us being English and everything. But rather than have a sad programmer I made him a batch of green frosted cupcakes.

Some little plugs of violets that we bought at the weekend had also obliged us by coming into bloom so two of them where used to decorative the cakes but with Stephen insisting that they are supposedly edible this one got left until last. Sad.

Our former expatriate and the actual Irish chap Stephen works with were quite happy to see the day marked.
