Preparation

Step 1

Cupcakes
Combine white cake mix with eggs, buttermilk and oil until well blended. Set aside
Combine chocolate cake mix with eggs, buttermilk and oil until well blended. Set aside
Divide white cake batter into 3 equals amounts – about 1 cup each into separate bowls
Color 1 part with 3-4 drops green coloring then add 1/4 cup chocolate cake batter, mix well
Add 1/4 cup chocolate cake batter to another bowl of white batter, mix well
Leave the third bowl with white cake batter and the remaining chocolate cake batter
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and fill muffin pan with cupcake liners
Divide batter into 4 separate bags, you can use decorator bags like I did or any resealable bag.
Add the batter, all colors at the same time into cupcake liners. It’s easiest if you have another set of hands to help you.
Use a knife or toothpick to gently swirl the batter.
Bake at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean
Cool completely

Frosting
Color part of the white frosting with a few drops of Forest Green Coloring
Add green, white and chocolate icing to a decorator bag fitted with a #1M Star Tip
Pipe on frosting
