Cupcakes for the Birthday Boy

It’s been awhile since my Husband and I have baked cupcakes. We only do them now when we’re asked to make them for parties. It’s always a hit with kids and kids at heart.

Yesterday, we made Vanilla Cupcakes for my cousin Patrick’s 9th birthday.

We chose green for the theme color because he likes Ben 10. For the decors on top of the vanilla icing, we put mini-marshmallows, green, blue & orange sprinkles and milk chocolate bits.


We surprised him by writing down a letter of his name in each cupcake and the number 9. His face lit up when he saw his name on them. My Husband was the one responsible for writing the letters.

 
We placed the cupcakes on the dessert table this way…

We don’t have a cupcake stand yet but we have a three-tier platter that we brought with us. We plan to buy a cupcake stand soon for better presentation.

Patrick’s Ice Cream Cake! 


 
As we were singing happy birthday to him….


 
We looked like his lady fans in this photo hehe…
  
And of course, photos with the birthday boy.

    Happy Birthday dear Patrick! ♥

    Question, do you use close up filter? minsan kasi blurred yung shots ko pag too close sa subject. I used 50mm BTW. Ikaw? Any tip?

    @kayni: looking forward to your story on your trip to a cupcake bakery in DC. happy weekend to you too!

    @leah: salamat!!! 🙂

    @mrs.zeus: nice to have you back!

    @chyng: i don’t use close up filters. i use a 50mm sometimes…for these photos, i used a 17-85mm though. pag blurred, just move backward. pag blurred kasi ibig sabihin lang nun hindi tama ang distansya ng kumukuha sa subject. other than distance, the key to using a 50mm are steady hands–real steady hands.

    @kay: thanks!

    @evey: go make some, it’s fun! 🙂

    @rick: thank you! he’s such a joy to be around with and he loves celebrating his bday so we are so glad he had a great time last night.
