St. Patrick's Day Green Velvet Cake

The small but special dinner gathering that occurred on St. Patrick's Day would have felt incomplete without a dessert, and the dessert would have felt out of place without some tie-in to the holiday. That's what food coloring is for, after all. Using the most tremendously excellent white velvet cake recipe for the cake layers, which I made a wonderful vibrant green, and then adding a white chocolate buttercream with a lighter green coloring, it was cool enough to proudly serve and delicious enough to speedily consume.
