Happy St. Patrick's Day! Green Tea Cupcakes!

Matcha powder is the key to green tea cupcakes.  I searched far and wide for matcha and was met with blank stares all around.  On attempt #5 I went to a local Asian Market and the clerk knew exactly what I was talking about - finally!  Mission accomplished!  These green tea cupcakes are filled with a green tea buttercream to give the cupcakes a greater concentration of the green tea flavor.  Whenever I drink green tea, I always choose one with an added flavoring, my favorite being Lipton's mango green tea; therefore, the cupcakes are topped with mango whipped cream!
