Ingredients
- 1 package chocolate cake mix (regular size)
- FILLING:
- 1/4 cup shortening
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 8 drops green food coloring, optional
- FROSTING:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened

- 2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup baking cocoa
- 2 tablespoons milk
- GLAZE:
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions
- Prepare cake mix batter according to package directions; fill 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Bake at 375° for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
- For filling, cream the shortening, butter, confectioners' sugar, milk and food coloring until light and fluffy. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry or plastic bag; insert #7 round tip. Add filling. Push the tip through the bottoms of paper liners to fill cupcakes (the top of the cupcakes will begin to expand when they are full).
- In a small bowl, combine the frosting ingredients; frost cupcakes. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over frosting.
