Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place wax paper on a flat surface or cutting board.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, melt green candy melts on 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted. Place into a ziplock bag and cut the tip. Pipe a shamrock shape onto the wax paper and let set until dry.
  • Line a square baking pan with parchment paper (on the sides and bottom) and grease with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Following the directions on the box, make your cake mix. Divide the mix into thirds and tint each a different color green. Pour one bowl of mix into the prepared square baking pan and bake 13-15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let set for about two minutes, and remove from pan and cool completely on a wire rack (just pull the paper and all out of the pan).
  • Line the pan again with parchment paper and grease. Pour the second batch of batter into the pan and bake. Repeat until the third cake is done. Cool all cakes completely.
  • When ready to assemble, cut each cake into 9 squares and cut each square in half. Use a small serrated knife for best results.
  • Place whipping cream and powdered sugar in a mixer and whisk until stiff peaks form, about 3-5 minutes. Pipe mix into a piping bag or use a spoon to add to cakes.
  • To assemble: Place one piece of cake onto a plate, top with a dollop of cream, and repeat until you have three layers and three dollops of whipping cream. Top with sprinkles and a candy shamrock.
