My beloved turned 33 a couple weeks ago. And he asked if I would make cupcakes for his regular Dungeons & Dragons group that meets on Wednesdays. Specifically, if I would make yellow cake with chocolate frosting. It gave me the perfect excuse to make Smitten Kitchen's
Best Birthday Cake and her
Instant Fudge Frosting.

| At one point, this cupcake said "33" - that's before I took a bite out of it. |

A couple of notes ... first off, the cake? Wow. This was some of the fluffiest batter that I've ever seen in my life. So much so that I do not see myself going back to box cakes (and as you all know - I don't have kids, so these words might be foolish and rash.) I ended up making 18 cupcakes and had enough batter leftover to make a round pan. (I get lazy after a bit with cupcakes - and I only have one cupcake pan.)
The frosting? Meh ... not so much. But here's a disclaimer - I'm not a big frosting fan, so no one should be surprised that I preferred my cake without frosting. Because I'm contrary like that.
So are you ready for some eye candy? Here's a picture of my lovah now ...

And here's proof that at least one of us has the genetics to make adorable babies ...

Love you honey! I am thankful every day that I got to marry my best friend ...

Ooooo...thanks for the eye candy. :) Those cupcakes look yummy. I'm not one for frosting either.
I'm assuming there is a +4 magical egg somewhere in the middle of all that yumminess?
I have +2 magical chicken armor if your eye-candy needs it. Plus, I also have a "+4 Axe of Chicken Beheading" for 20 silver. Oh, sorry, this is a family blog. Whoops, my apologizes!
