“End Of The Rainbow” Layer Cake

If you don’t catch a leprechaun with your sneaky traps, you’ll be sure to find one sitting on his pot of gold at the end of this rainbow cake! If you don’t find a leprechaun, you might just find ME there! LOL! This is the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, am I right? Or ANY day, as far as I’m concerned! YUMMO!

Now you should be set for when March 17th rolls around. And if you aren’t sure what to wear, follow the Irish tradition! In Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day, people traditionally wear a small bunch of shamrocks on their jackets or caps. Children wear orange, white and green badges, and women and girls wear green ribbons in their hair. If you don’t have that, then just wear a smile on your face and a twinkle in your eye! Then you might be mistake for a Leprechaun! Happy crafting!
