St. Patrick’s Day Cake

I couldn’t let St. Patrick’s Day come and go without making a cake to celebrate this holiday. I’m so dang excited about this recipe I’m going to share with you.

Holidays and special occasions like birthdays are the perfect time to play around with colorful cakes like this because you want everything to be as festive as possible, and you usually won’t mind having to put a little extra time into putting together your super creation. The end result was divine, like seriously intensely good! A decadent cake covered in a seriously amazing treat!! You will not be able to stop looking at or snacking on this yummy cake! I really enjoyed the flavors. I mean, it’s a cake with chocolate frosting and chocolate covered donuts, bliss balls on top, sprinkled with chocolate shavings and stuff…  Who wouldn’t like all the chocolatey deliciousness? There are endless ways to dress up even the most basic cake. Decorating a cake can be as complex or as simple as you wish. I might have gone a little overboard with the picture thing. Sorry about that or well, NO! Not really:) These pictures have me drooling big time. I figured if given the chances are, they’ll have you drooling too. At least some of you and probably a little cake porn can’t be bad for you every now and then. Oh, yeah! For seriously, who is ever going to take their eyes off the pictures to actually read these words? Hey, we’re talking about cake here! To celebrate St Paddy’s Day I whipped up a cool green cake. I have added spinach to this, and quite a healthy dose, too! But don’t worry about it. No one will ever know and unless someone examine the cake very close up they will never even be able to spot the sneaky veggie. Promise! Spinach isn’t only for salad.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  I think there’s a little bit of Irish in all of us around this time of the year.  Let’s celebrate with this cake and the parade begin! Now I can’t wait to hear what you guys think!
