Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line pan with green cupcake liners; set aside.
  2. Combine the flours, sugar, baking powder and salt.
  3. Add the butter and mix on low.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl between each addition.
  5. Slowly pour in the milk, vanilla and mint extract, and mix until combined.
  6. Add the green food coloring and mix until color blends in.
  7. Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, until batter is smooth.
  8. Fill the liners two-thirds full and bake for 15-20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then move to a wire rack to cool completely before frosting.
  10. Beat the cream cheese, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and completely combined, about 3 minutes.
  11. Slowly add the heavy cream, scrape the sides of the bowl, then increase speed to medium-high and whip until stiff peaks form.
Assemble the Cupcakes
  1. Pipe the frosting onto the cupcakes, then sprinkle with green sugar and top with green maraschino cherries.
  2. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
