I'm using St Patricks day as an excuse to make a cake for DH to take to work. I'm trying to practice new recipes and techniques. What cake and filling would be yummy and be fitting for the holiday? If anyone has any recipes they want to share, that would be great (especially if they are doctored mixes! 
). Thanks!
Chocolate cake (possibly with some added irish creamer to flavor it) and then filled with bailey's irish cream chocolate mousse. Cover in ganache.
If you are wanting to do a decorated cake you could bake a cake (in a pyrex bowl or sports ball pan) and make it look like a black pot by adding little fondant feet to it. Add some of those chocolate gold coins on top (to save time) and then pipe clovers on the side of the pot. Considering it's for a work place I would place this on top of a cake, like a 9x13, that been decorated with little clovers--dowel well under the pot. You could say something like "Luck of the Irish to you"
i make a yummy Guinness beer choc cake! it is awesome! it comes out like a truffle cake and gets a ganache topping that of course ha has some more Guinness. i also make guinness truffles!
Pistachio is my favorite "green holiday" for the cake flavor and the filling and it is green and it is delicious!!.
For the cake; Simply use a DH Classic white cake mix and add an additional 1 egg and 1 box of Jello brand Pistachio instant pudding mix. Bake as directed.
For the Pistachio filling: use 1 pint of heavy cream, 1 cup sugar and 1 box of the Jello brand Pistachio instant pudding mix. Whip the cream and sugar together until it forms medium peaks. Mix in the pudding mix until well blended & thick and creamy. This is enough filling to do a 4 layer (3 layers filled) 9 or 10" round.
Buttercream frosting is delicious with this combo too!
The Pistachio mix is already green but you can darken the green of the cake and filling even more by adding a drop or two of your favorite green food coloring.
I agree w/ the pistachio but instead of water add sprite to the cake mix. It is super moist and delish>>I added some to the bc too it was good
