This is a collection of cakes for lots of fun, with a little splash of green food coloring here and there. This is not a collection of traditional Irish cakes. If Irish baking is what you're looking for take a look at my collection of Irish cake recipes.

But around Saint Patrick's Day, I always believe a little food coloring will do us no harm, and we can have a little fun creating shamrock, rainbow, and leprechaun themed cakes.
