I want to make some st. patrick's day cupcakes for friday. I'm thinking something super simple...white frosting with a single green shamrock, but I'm not sure which tip(s) I should use for the shamrock. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!

there's a pic in my photos, i used tip 353, it makes the smaller shamrocks. if you don't have that tip, you can use a round tip to make hearts, just imagine each heart is one of the shamrock leaves.

If you can make primroses, you can make a 3 petal primrose then just add a stem

I used tip 100 or tip 103 and made something like a three petaled primrose, but I made the dip much deeper.
And then made a tip 3 stem.

On a few I made four leaf clovers. It looked really cool; I let them dry for a day or so and then put them on my cake. Hopefully I'll be able to borrow my mother's camera to take pictures.

I did four leaf clovers using the 103 and then a #2 for the stem as well. These are out of Royal Icing. You can kind of see the stem on the one in the upper left corner.
