Birthday Cupcakes

Staying with the "three" theme, I made three different cupcakes:  German Chocolate with cream cheese filling, Cookies and Cream with an oreo in the bottom and whipped cream-oreo frosting, and a lemon-blueberry with lemon curd filling and blueberry-lemon buttercream on top.  I attempted to make puzzle piece chocolate pieces to go on top of each one, but they were too fragile and broke when I tried to remove from the parchment.  They need to be thicker outline and I simply ran out of time (and energy) to attempt again. 


The birthday girl did a great job waiting until everyone sang, then promptly blew out the three candles with one swift puff.


My personal favorite was the lemon-blueberry, but most everyone else (including Camden) voted for the cookies and cream.


Camden did inform me yesterday that she needs to have another birthday party since we didn't have cake.  I tried to explain that we did, they were just cupcakes.  She corrected me by pointing out that at birthdays you have cake...with sprinkles...NOT cupcakes.  I guess I know better for next year!
