Happy Birthday, Me!

Today is my 25th Birthday!

It has been such a crazy year, moving to Florida, buying a house, adopting two dogs, new job, etc.

In the past year, I've made some great friends, so my husband decided we should have a big backyard bbq party to celebrate. I was game!

He's in charge of the food, so I told him I wanted to do desserts. Yes, the "s" is necessary. I'm all about birthday cakes, but I like variety, and I like grand dessert selections...

8 lbs. of butter + 11 types of booze = Summer Alcoholic Beverage Cupcake Buffet.

So the tentative menu of cupcakes is set, and I'm still figuring out exactly how to execute each cupcake... but here's a rough idea! The results will be blogged in the next few weeks :)

Mojito

(Rum cake, Lime Curd Filling, Mint Swiss Meringue Buttercream)

Mango Margarita

(Lime Cake, Tequila/Mango Filling, Lime Cream Cheese Frosting) 

Bombay Punch

(Champagne Cake, Brandy wash, Raspberry Swiss Meringue)

Limoncello

(Limoncello Cake, Lemon Curd Filling, Cream Cheese Frosting)

Mudslide

(Kahluah cake, Bailey's Buttercream, Espresso Bean topper)

Fuzzy Navel

(Peach Cake, Peach Schnapps wash, Orange Buttercream)

Irish Car Bomb

Pina Colada

And lastly, thanks to my mama for this shirt in my birthday package. It's scratch and sniff!
