Feliz Cumpleanos!!

Joel's birthday was yesterday!!!  Since we are always so busy with school and Joel with work as well, we actually had his birthday dinner the day before.  I made lasagna, at the birthday boys request, and as a big surprise...I made Mt. Dew Cupcakes!! Hence, the color of the letters.  If you don't know Joel is a Dew junkie and I thought it would be a good birthday gift to make these for him.  I found the recipe on pintrest and I must admit that they were actually pretty good.  I am not a very good cook or baker but I try really hard :(  So, the cupcakes were a success but the buttercream was sadly not :(  It was too runny and the food coloring actually got lighter as the buttercream chilled.  I definitely need work on making buttercream from scratch! 

Here they are


I saw this recipe a long time ago and so had this planned for a while.  I wanted to try them out already!  lol. 
But, my husband loved them and that is all that matters!


He is so cute~!  I also got him a gift card to Harbor Freight (he wasn't expecting that either but I knew he would love it!) but he didn't get that till his actual birthday :)
So, here is to my hubby's birthday! 

I love you!
