St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner! It’s a fun holiday for many, but if you don’t like to drink (or can’t for health reasons) it’s easy to feel left out of this holiday- especially if you’re not Irish. But almost everyone likes sweets! So we combed the Internet for the richest, dreamiest, most scrumptious recipes so you can whip up something delectable this week. Enjoy!

7. Beer cupcakes with whiskey filling and Irish cream icing- People in the UK often use beer to deepen the flavor of chocolate cake.

8. Green ombre cake- This takes green food to a whole other level with five different shades of green! Or you could add even more. It’s really fun to make this if you’re a creative person: you get to play with food color to make the different shades. Green ombre cake recipe.
