How to make St. Patrick's Day very bright rainbow cupcakes with buttercream shamrocks: video, plus Cadbury Creme egg, Glee and Beatles cupcakes

This is a detailed 12-minute video about how to make very bright rainbow cupcakes for St. Patrick's Day, by blogger Jennifer Johns of Cupcakes, Cookies and Cardio (what a great name!).
